Also applies the brakes in forward if the rig has it -- I turned mine off when I was running down the Interstate at 70MPH and the camera system saw a black patch repair... SLAMMED on the brakes, then was like, OH, NOTHING HERE, LET'S KEEP GOING .. everyone behind me thought I was brake checking them.
@jbod77 Yes - they were supposed to "re-align" the system / aka re-calibrate .. talk to your dealer and explain and see if they can do it without cost.
Your are referring to Forward Collision Warning and Mitigation, not park sense. It's all in the owners manual.
PARKSENSE FRONT AND REAR PARK ASSIST .....359
The automatic braking function is intended to assist the
driver in avoiding possible collisions with detected obstacles
when backing up in
REVERSE gear.
Forward Collision Warning ..................................................219
The Forward Collision Warning (FCW) system provides the
driver with audible, visual warnings (within the instrument
cluster display), and may apply a haptic warning in the form
of a brake jerk, to warn the driver when it detects a potential
frontal collision. The warnings are intended to provide the
driver with enough time to react, avoid or mitigate the
potential collision.
If the driver does not take action based upon these progressive
warnings, then the system will provide a limited level of
active braking to help slow the vehicle and mitigate the
potential forward collision.
I've had forward collision braking save my bacon once. I've also had it apply the brakes when it shouldn't, like when the car in front of me in turning into a driveway and will be well out of my way. I've changed the setting to near and haven't had the false braking since. I haven't had the false braking on the freeway like some have encountered.
