SAFETY 115
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 an 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 turned 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 intersec-
tion
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.
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 vehicle, but that does not preside in
the same lane. In cases such as this, the system
might respond.
Driving In The Vicinity Of A Curve
Small Vehicles And/Or Not Aligned To The Lane
The system is not able to detect the presence of
vehicles that are in front of the vehicle but
placed outside the field of action of the radar
sensor and could therefore not react in the
presence of small vehicles such as bicycles or
motorcycles.
Small Vehicles And/Or Not Aligned To The Lane
