“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 instrument cluster display
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 .
Precautions While Driving With Brake Control
In certain driving conditions, such as:
• Driving in the vicinity of a curve
• Small vehicles and/or not aligned to the lane
• Lane changing of other vehicles
• Passing of vehicles in an oncoming intersection
The intervention of the system could be unexpected or delayed
.
The driver must there-
fore always pay particular attention, while maintaining control of the car to drive in com-
plete safety
.
Driving In The Vicinity Of A Curve
Entering or exiting a large curve, the system could detect the presence of a vehicle that
is in front of the car, but that does not preside in the same lane
. In cases such as this, the
system might respond .
