System Sensor Blockage
E205199
The system uses radar sensors that are
located behind the bumper fascia on each
side of your vehicle. Any dirt, mud and snow
in front of the sensors and/or driving in heavy
rain can cause system degradation. Also,
other types of obstructions in front of the
sensor can cause system degradation. This
is referred to as a blocked condition.
Note: Do not apply bumper stickers and/or
repair compound to these areas, this can
cause degraded system performance.
