Brake Control Limited Warning
If the EVIC displays “Brake Control Limited Functionality” or “Brake Control Limited
Functionality Clean Front Windshield” momentarily, there may be a condition that limits
Brake Control functionality
.
Although the vehicle is still drivable under normal conditions,
the active braking may not be fully available
.
Once the condition that limited the system
performance is no longer present, the system will return to its full performance state
.
If the problem persists, see your authorized dealer
.
Service Brake Control Warning
If the system turns off, and the EVIC displays:
•
Brake Control Unavailable Service Required
This indicates there is an internal system fault
.
Although the vehicle is still drivable under
normal conditions, have the system checked by an authorized dealer
.
“Wipe Front Radar Sensor In Front Of Vehicle” Warning
The “Brake Control Front Radar Sensor Temporarily Blocked” warning will display when
conditions temporarily limit system performance
.
This most often occurs at times of poor
visibility, such as in snow or heavy rain
.
The system may also become temporarily blinded
due to obstructions, such as mud, dirt or ice
.
In these cases, the EVIC will display “Brake
Control Front Radar Sensor Temporarily Blocked” and the system will deactivate
.
The “Brake Control Front Radar Sensor Temporarily Blocked” message can sometimes be
displayed while driving in highly reflective areas (i
.
e
.
tunnels with reflective tiles, or ice and
snow)
.
The system will recover after the vehicle has left these areas
.
Under rare condi-
tions, when the radar 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 sensor
.
It may re-
quire cleaning or removal of an obstruction
.
The sensor is located behind the lower
grille
.
In absence of visible obstructions on the bumper, it could be necessary to wipe off
the radar directly on the surface, after having the radar cover removed
.
It’s recom-
mended that your authorized dealer perform’s this operation
.
NOTE:
•
If the “Brake Control Front Radar Sensor Temporarily Blocked” message occurs fre-
quently (e
.
g
.
more than once on every trip) without any snow, rain, mud, or other ob-
struction, have the radar sensor realigned at your authorized dealer
.
•
Installing a snow plow, front-end protector, an aftermarket grille or modifying the grille
is not recommended
.
Doing so may block the sensor and inhibit Brake Control
operation
.
