A message appears if something obstructs
the sensor's radar signals. The sensor is
located behind a cover near the driver side
of the lower grille. The system cannot
detect a vehicle ahead and does not
function when something obstructs the
radar signal. The following table lists
possible causes and actions for this
message displaying.
Action
Cause
Clean the grille surface in front of the radaror remove the object causing the obstruc- tion.
The surface of the radar in the grille is dirty
or obstructed in some way.
Wait a short time. It may take several
minutes for the radar to detect that it is free from obstruction.
The surface of the radar in the grille is clean
but the message remains in the display.
Do not use the system in these conditionsbecause it may not detect any vehicles ahead.
Heavy rain or snow is interfering with the
radar signals.
Do not use the system in these conditionsbecause it may not detect any vehicles ahead.
Swirling water, or snow or ice on the surface
of the road may interfere with the radar signals.
Wait a short time or switch to normal cruisecontrol.
You are in a desert or remote area with no
other vehicles and no roadside objects.
Due to the nature of radar technology, it is
possible to get a blockage warning with no
actual block. This happens, for example,
when driving in sparse rural or desert
environments. A false blocked condition
either self clears or clears after a you
restart your vehicle.
Switching to Normal Cruise
Control WARNING
Normal cruise control does not brake
for slower vehicles. Always be aware
of which mode you have selected
and apply the brakes when necessary. You can manually change from adaptive
cruise control to normal cruise control
through the information display.
The cruise control indicator light
replaces the adaptive cruise
control indicator light if you
select normal cruise control. The gap
setting does not display, the system does
not automatically respond to lead vehicles
and automatic braking does not activate.
