“Clean Front Windshield” Warning
The “ACC/FCW Limited Functionality Clean
Front Windshield” warning will display and also
a chime will indicate when conditions temporar-
ily limit system performance. This most often
occurs at times of poor visibility, such as in snow
or heavy rain and fog. The ACC system may
also become temporarily blinded due to ob-
structions, such as mud, dirt, or ice on wind-
shield and fog on the inside of glass. In these
cases, the DID will display “ACC/FCW Limited
Functionality Clean Front Windshield” and the
system will have degraded performance.
The “ACC/FCW Limited Functionality Clean
Front Windshield” message can sometimes be
displayed while driving in adverse weather con-
ditions. The ACC/FCW system will recover after
the vehicle has left these areas. Under rare
conditions, when the camera is not tracking any
vehicles or objects in its path this warning may
temporarily occur.
If weather conditions are not a factor, the driver
should examine the windshield and the camera
located on the back side of the inside rear view
mirror. They may require cleaning or removal of
an obstruction.
When the condition that created limited func-
tionality is no longer present, the system will
return to full functionality.
NOTE:
If the “ACC/FCW Limited Functionality
Clean Front Windshield” message occurs
frequently (e.g. more than once on every
trip) without any snow, rain, mud, or other
obstruction, have the windshield and for-
ward facing camera inspected at your autho-
rized dealer.
Service ACC/FCW Warning
If the system turns off, and the DID displays
“ACC/FCW Unavailable Service Required” or
“Cruise/FCW Unavailable Service Required”,
there may be an internal system fault or a
temporary malfunction that limits ACC function-
ality. Although the vehicle is still drivable under
normal conditions, ACC will be temporarily un-
available. If this occurs, try activating ACC
again later, following an ignition cycle. If the
problem persists, see your authorized dealer.
Precautions While Driving With ACC
In certain driving situations, ACC may have
detection issues. In these cases, ACC may
brake late or unexpectedly. The driver needs to
stay alert and may need to intervene.
Towing A Trailer
Towing a trailer is not advised when using ACC.
Offset Driving
ACC may not detect a vehicle in the same lane
that is offset from your direct line of travel, or a
vehicle merging in from a side lane. There may
not be sufficient distance to the vehicle ahead.
The offset vehicle may move in and out of the
line of travel, which can cause your vehicle to
brake or accelerate unexpectedly.
