OPERATION
- 106 -
A message is displayed when the radar
signals taken from the sensor are blocked
by an object. The sensor is located behind
the grill. When the sensor is blocked, the
system cannot detect the vehicle in front,
and thus cannot operate.
Note: You cannot see the sensor, it is
located under the panel.
Keep the front of your car clean and do
not keep metal badges or other objects
on the vehicle. Vehicle front protectors
and retrofi tted lamps may also block the
sensor.
Reason Procedure
The radar surface
inside the grill is
dirty or covered
with something.
Clean the grill surface
in front of the radar
or remove the
covering object.
Radar surface is
clean, but there is
still a message on
the screen.
Wait for a short
period of time. It may
take a few minutes
before the radar fi nds
out there is nothing in
front of it.
Excessive rain or
snow blocks radar
signals.
Do not use the
system in such
conditions as it shall
not be able to detect
the vehicles in front.
Water, snow or
ice on the road
surface may block
the radar signals.
Do not use the
system in such
conditions as it shall
not be able to detect
the vehicles in front.
When you are in a
desert or remote
area where there
are no other
vehicles or road
markings in your
vicinity.
Wait for a short time
or switch to normal
speed control.
