8.17.4. System temporarily unavailable

When radar blockage is detected, the system will be deactivated automatically. The [Not available Side radar obstructed] warning message will appear in the vehicle information display.

The systems are not available until the conditions no longer exist.

The radar sensors may be blocked by temporary ambient conditions such as splashing water, mist or fog.

The blocked condition may also be caused by objects such as ice, frost or dirt obstructing the radar sensors.

If the BSW system stops working, the RCTA and the Intelligent Blind Spot Intervention (where fitted) systems will also stop working.

Action to take:

When the above conditions no longer exist, the system will resume automatically.
