If required, switch the entire
pre-collision assist feature on or off.
• If required, switch evasive steering
assist on or off.
Note: Automatic emergency braking and
evasive steering turn on every time you
switch the ignition on.
Note: If your vehicle has a radar sensor, we
recommend that you switch the system off
if you install a snow plow or similar object
in such a way that it may block the radar
sensor. Your vehicle remembers the selected
setting across key cycles.
Note: If you switch automatic emergency
braking off, evasive steering assist switches
off.
LOCATING THE PRE-
COLLISION ASSIST SENSORS
- POLICE RESPONDER Camera.
1 If a message regarding a blocked camera
appears in the instrument cluster display,
something is obstructing the camera
images. With a blocked camera, the
system may not function, or performance
may reduce. See Pre-Collision Assist –
Information Messages (page 404).
Note: Proper system operation requires a
clear view of the road by the camera. Have
any windshield damage in the area of the
camera's field of view repaired.
Note: If your vehicle detects excessive heat
at the camera or a potential misalignment
condition, a message could display in the
information display indicating temporary
sensor unavailability. When operational
conditions are correct, the message
deactivates. For example, when the ambient
temperature around the sensor decreases
or the sensor recalibrates successfully.

If a message regarding a blocked sensor
or camera appears in the information
display, something is obstructing the radar
signals or camera images. The radar sensor
is behind the fascia cover in the center of
the lower grille. With a blocked sensor or
camera, the system may not function, or
performance may reduce. See
Pre-Collision Assist – Information
Messages (page 404).
Note: Proper system operation requires a
clear view of the road by the camera. Have
any windshield damage in the area of the
camera's field of view repaired.
Note: If something hits the front end of your
vehicle or damage occurs and your vehicle
has a radar sensor, the radar sensing zone
could change. This could cause missed or
false vehicle detections. Have your vehicle
serviced to have the radar checked for
proper coverage and operation. Note:
If your vehicle detects excessive heat
at the camera or a potential misalignment
condition, a message could display in the
information display indicating temporary
sensor unavailability. When operational
conditions are correct, the message
deactivates. For example, when the ambient
temperature around the sensor decreases
or the sensor recalibrates successfully.

WHAT IS SPEED SIGN
RECOGNITION
Speed sign recognition detects speed limit
signs to inform you of the current speed
limit. Detected speed signs appear in the
information display.
HOW DOES SPEED SIGN
RECOGNITION WORK
Speed sign recognition uses a sensor
behind the interior mirror to detect speed
signs.
If your vehicle has speed sign recognition
with navigation, stored speed sign data
may influence the indicated speed limit
value.
SPEED SIGN RECOGNITION
PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: You are responsible for
controlling your vehicle at all times. The
system is designed to be an aid and does
not relieve you of your responsibility to
drive with due care and attention. Failure
to follow this instruction could result in
the loss of control of your vehicle,
personal injury or death. WARNING: In cold and severe
weather conditions the system may not
function. Rain, snow and spray can all
limit sensor performance. WARNING:
The system may not
operate properly if the sensor is blocked.
Keep the windshield free from
obstruction. Note:
Do not carry out windshield repairs
in the immediate area surrounding the
sensor.
Note: If your vehicle has a suspension kit
not approved by us, the system may not
correctly function.
Note: The system may not detect all speed
signs and may incorrectly read signs.
Note: Always fit our original parts when
replacing headlamp bulbs. Other bulbs may
reduce system performance.
SPEED SIGN RECOGNITION
LIMITATIONS
Speed sign recognition may not operate
correctly due to:
• Outdated map data.
• Incorrect recognition of speed limits by
the sensor of signs on parallel roads or
exit ramps.
• Missed recognition of faded, dirty, or
distorted signs.
SPEED SIGN RECOGNITION
INDICATORS When the system detects a speed limit
sign, it appears in the information display.
