Possible Causes and Actions for This Message Displaying:

Cause

Action

The surface of the radar is dirty or obstructed.

Clean the grille surface in front of the radar or remove the object causing the obstruction. Wait a short time. It may take several minutes for the radar to detect that it is free from obstruction. Do not use the system in these conditions because it may not detect any vehicles ahead.

The surface of the radar is clean but the message remains in the display.

Heavy rain or snow is interfering with the radar signals.
