Detection issues can occur:

When driving on a different line
than the vehicle in front.

A

With vehicles that edge into your
lane. The system can only detect
these vehicles once they move
fully into your lane.

B

There may be issues with the
detection of vehicles in front
when driving into and coming out
of a bend or curve in the road.

C

In these cases, the system may brake late
or unexpectedly. The driver should stay
alert and intervene when necessary.

If something hits the front end of your
vehicle or damage occurs, the
radar-sensing zone may change. This could
cause missed or false vehicle detections.
See an authorized dealer to have the radar
checked for proper coverage and
operation.

System Not Available

Conditions which can cause the system to
deactivate or prevent the system from
activating when requested include:

a blocked sensor

high brake temperature

a failure in the system or a related
system.

Blocked Sensor

WARNINGS

Do not use the system when towing
a trailer with brake controls.
Aftermarket trailer brakes will not

function properly when the system is
activated because the brakes are
electronically controlled. Failing to do so
may result in loss of vehicle control, which
could result in serious injury.

Do not use tires sizes other than
those recommended because this
can affect the normal operation of

the system. Failing to do so may result in
a loss of vehicle control, which could result
in serious injury.
