What this alert means:
Traffic-Aware Cruise Control and Autosteer are unavailable because one or more of the front cameras in your vehicle is blocked or blinded by external conditions.
Traffic-Aware Cruise Control and Autosteer will remain unavailable while a front camera lacks adequate visibility. Cameras may have limited or no visibility due to:
- Dirt or debris on the camera surface.
- Environmental conditions like rain, fog, snow, or dew.
- Bright sunlight or glare from another light source.
- Low or limited light conditions, including unlit or poorly lit roadways at night.
- Condensation (water droplets or mist) on the camera surface.
- Monotonous environmental features, including tunnel walls or highway dividers.
What to do:
Continue to your destination. Your vehicle is OK to drive.
This is often a temporary issue that clears up on its own. If the alert does not clear by the end of your drive:
- Inspect and clean the front camera area at the top center of the windshield before your next planned drive.
- Check the camera surface for condensation, dirt, or other debris and attempt to clear any obstruction.
See Cleaning a Camera for more information on clearing dirt or debris from that area of the vehicle.
Although condensation on the inside of the front camera enclosure cannot be wiped clean, you can usually clear it quicker by following these steps:
- Pre-condition the cabin with the temperature set to High and A/C turned ON.
- Turn on the front windshield defroster.
If this alert persists throughout subsequent drives but no front camera obstruction is visible, schedule service at your earliest convenience. Your vehicle is OK to drive in the meantime.
