Detection Issues
The radar sensor has a limited field of vision. It may not detect vehicles
at all or detect a vehicle later than expected in some situations. The lead
vehicle graphic will not illuminate if a vehicle is not detected in front of
you.
Detection issues can occur:
A. When driving on a different line
than the vehicle in front.
B. With vehicles that edge into your
lane. These vehicles can only be
detected once they have moved
fully into your lane.
C. 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.
In these cases the system may brake late or unexpectedly. The driver
should stay alert and intervene when necessary.
If the front end of the vehicle is hit or damaged, the radar sensing zone
may be altered causing missed or false vehicle detections. See your
authorized dealer to have the radar checked for proper coverage and
operation.
