Detection issues can occur:
When driving on a different
line than the vehicle in front. A
With vehicles that edge into
your lane. The system can
only detect these vehicles
once they move fully into
your lane. B
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. C
In these cases the system may brake
late or unexpectedly. The driver
should stay alert and intervene when
necessary.
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. See an authorized dealer
to have the radar checked for proper
coverage and operation.
System Not Available
Conditions that can cause the system
to deactivate or prevent the system
from activating when requested
include:
•
a blocked sensor
• high brake temperature
• a failure in the system or a related
system.
Blocked Sensor
WARNINGS
Do not use the system when
towing a trailer with brake
controls. Aftermarket trailer brakes
will not function properly when the
system is activated because the
brakes are electronically controlled.
Failing to do so may result in loss of
vehicle control, which could result in
serious injury.
Do not use tire sizes other than
those recommended because
this can affect the normal operation
of the system. Failing to do so may
result in a loss of vehicle control,
which could result in serious injury.
