Front assist, sensor impaired
Hi All,
Does anyone else get the above message whenever it is raining, is this a fault, as I would imagine that during the rain we would like as much assistance as possible when it comes to staying safe?
Many thanks

Re: Front assist, sensor impaired
depends on how strong rain is it. It is connected with ACC and I got it a few times. Mostly because my front badge was dirty or covered in snow but strong raind also triggered error.

Only snow as a cause for me too, when the bulk of what was on the bonnet slid over it.

Re: Front assist, sensor impaired
I've had the error twice. Both times on the motorway in the dark with heavy rain, loads of spray and heavy traffic. Just what I needed while concentrating on staying alive was a loud Ding, a bright yellow warning light and a message to read!!!! And the badge was clean.
I hate front assist. I have also had the brakes slam on hard (only for a second) on 3 occasions now for no reason at all. It's really scarey.
I now turn it off every time I start the car. Just 3 button presses on the right had side of the steering wheel.

Re: Front assist, sensor impaired
So you have to go to the dealer see the faults and maybe they will replace it. I heard this issue again has been happend in other cars.

Re: Front assist, sensor impaired
I think that the dealer could see these errors and the reason. I think that you must go to check it. Record it with camera its very good idea but its very dangerous for you and the others so if was you i would call to the dealer immediately. Sometimes new cars has errors so warranty helping us.
