Yes. It’s important to keep the windshield clean for the camera to work properly and to keep the front grille and bumpers clean for the radar sensors, if equipped, to work properly. Read your Owner’s Manual for cleaning instructions.
Bad weather that affects road surface traction or visibility may impact its performance. Also, if the forward-looking camera or radar sensors, if equipped, are obstructed in any way, the system will not perform as expected. Adaptive Cruise Control systems may not perform as expected where lighting is poor or when following vehicles with unusual shapes.
