Blocked Sensors
If a message regarding a blocked
sensor appears in the information
display, the radar signals from
the sensor have been obstructed.
The sensors are located behind a
fascia cover near the driver side of
the lower grille. When the sensors
are obstructed, a vehicle ahead
cannot be detected and the collision warning system does not function.
The following table lists possible causes and actions for this message
being displayed.
