so can cause one or more Autopilot
features to malfunction.
Cleaning Cameras and Sensors
To ensure the various Autopilot components
can provide information that is as accurate as
possible, keep them clean and free of
obstructions, condensation, or damage.
Occasionally remove any buildup of dirt by
wiping the components with a soft cloth
dampened with warm water.
Condensation can form inside the camera
enclosures, especially if you park your vehicle
outside in cold or wet conditions. The
touchscreen may display an alert stating that
a camera is blocked and that some or all
Autopilot features may be temporarily
restricted until the camera vision is clear. To
proactively dry the condensation,
precondition the cabin by setting it to a warm
temperature, turning the windshield defroster
on, and directing the front air vents toward
the door pillars (see Mobile App on page 152).
Caution: Do not use chemical-based or
abrasive cleaners. Doing so can damage
surfaces.
Caution: Avoid using a high-pressure
power washer.
Caution: Do not clean an ultrasonic sensor
or camera lens with a sharp or abrasive
object that can scratch or damage its
surface.
