By changing t he option to "Near", the system will
warn the driver of a possible accident with the
vehicle ahead of it when the la tter is a reduced
distance.This setting offers a reaction time to the
driver lower than the settings "Medium" and "Far",
in the case of a potential accident, while a more
dynamic driving of the car.
The setting of the sensitivity of the sys tem is
maintained in memory when the engine is
switched off.
Full Brake Control System Limited Warning
If the instrument cluster display reads “Brake
Control Limited Functionality” or “Brake Control
Limited Functionality Clean Front Windshield”
momentarily, there may be a condition that limits
Full Brake Control System functionality. Although
the vehicle is still drivable under normal condi-
tions, 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 s tate. If the prob-
lem persists, see an authorized dealer.
Service Full Brake Control System Warning
If the system turns off, and the instrument cluster
display displays:
• Service Brake Control
This indicates there is an internal system fault.
Although the vehicle is still drivable under normal
conditions, have the system checked by an autho-
rized dealer.
“Brake Control Front Radar Sensor Temporarily
Blocked” Warning
The “Brake Control Front Radar Sensor Tempo-
rarily Blocked” warning will display when condi-
tions temporarily limit system performance. This
most often occurs a t 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 Con-
trol Front Radar Sensor Temporarily Blocked” and
the system will deactivate.
The “Brake Control Front Radar Sensor Tempo-
rarily Blocked” message can sometimes be dis-
played 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 conditions, 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 require clean-
ing or removal of an obstruction. The sensor is
located behind the lower grille. In absence of
visible obstructions on the bumper, it could be
necessar y to wipe off the radar directly on the
surface, after having the radar cover removed. It’s
recommended that an authorized dealer per-
forms this operation.
NOTE:
• If the “Brake Control Front Radar Sensor Tem-
porarily Blocked” message occurs frequently
(e.g. more than once on every trip) without any
snow, rain, mud, or other obstruction, have t he
radar sensor realigned at an 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 Full Brake Control System operation.
