“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 opera tion .
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.
