The brake pedal must be pressed just like any typical braking situation. Due to the nature of radar technology, there may be certain instances where vehicles do not provide a collision warning. These include Stationary vehicles or vehicles moving below 6 mph (10 km/h). Pedestrians or objects in the roadway. Oncoming vehicles in the same lane. Severe weather conditions (see blocked sensor section). Debris build-up on the grille near the headlamps (see blocked sensor section). Small distance to vehicle ahead. Steering wheel and pedal movements are large (very active driving style). If the front end of the vehicle is hit or damaged, the radar sensing zone may be altered causing missed or false collision warnings. See your authorized dealer to have your collision warning radar checked for proper coverage and operation. 184 MKS (), enUSA
