How to maintain Advanced Emergency Braking
System?
Note:
If a message regarding a blocked radar
sensor is shown in the information display, the radar
signals are obstructed. The radar sensor is located
behind a fascia cover integrated to the middle-
bottom of the upper grille. With obstructed radar,
the Advanced Emergency Braking System does not
function and cannot detect a vehicle ahead.
Front Radar Sensor
Blocked, See Manual.
Radar sensor blockage message
Note:
It is driver’s responsibility to keep the radar
sensor behind the front grille clean. Make sure that
cover of the radar sensor is free of mud, packed
snow or any other foreign object.
Note:
Do not mount any attachments in front of the
radar sensor. Do not cover or paint the cover of the
radar sensor. Any modification on the cover of the
radar sensor could cause AEBS failure or reduced
functionality.
Note:
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. Contact an authorized dealer to
have the radar checked for proper coverage and
operation.
Radar location to be kept clean
Note: If a message regarding low camera visibility is
seen in the information display, camera sensor view
is obstructed. With the front camera obstructed, AEB
System function may reduce or get deactivated. It is
driver’s responsibility to keep the windscreen area
clean where camera sensor is located to maintain full
functionality. Make sure that there are no stickers or
sun blocking films on the windscreen blocking the field
of view of the camera. Have any windshield damage
in the area of the camera's field of view repaired.
