If weather conditions are not a factor, the driver should
examine the sensor. It may require cleaning or removal of
an obstruction. 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
recommended that your authorized dealer perform this
operation.
NOTE:
• If the “FCW Front Radar Sensor Temporarily Blocked”
message occurs frequently (e.g. more than once on every
trip) without any snow, rain, mud, or other obstruction,
have the radar sensor realigned at your authorized
dealer.
• Installing a snow plow or front-end protector is not
recommended. Doing so may block the sensor and
inhibit FCW operation.
• Use only a soft cloth for cleaning. Do not use solvents or
abrasive pastes.
• The radar is equipped with a defrost system, so in some
climatic conditions it could reach high temperatures.
Wait at least 30 seconds after the engine has been cycled
OFF before touching the sensor.
Precautions While Driving With FCW
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 therefore always pay particular
attention, while maintaining control of the vehicle to drive
in complete safety.
