Warning Symbol

[RoadCycleNut]

Had a red symbol flash up twice recently, checked the manual and it’s the one that stands for “warning/emergency/deactivation (front assist). Never been in an emergency situation, front of the car was a little dirty but not enough to cause an issue.  Cars only 3 weeks old, any ideas?

 

Thanks in advance

A few of us have experienced this.  It may need to be recalibrated at a dealer.  It happened to me at around 3 weeks old as well.  It was an issue since the factory build and nothing was physically damaged.  Had it recalibrated and no issue since.  Note that not all dealers appear to have the equipment to do this but I’d take it back to where you bought it and let them have a look.  Also, if they try to charge for it (as some reportedly have!) just be firm with them.   No reason to have to pay for this, if indeed it does need to be recalibrated.

Mine has reacted incorrectly when it misread the traffic ahead, or a car leaving the road ahead, or on two occasions when a hedgehopping wood pigeon got too close!

A dirty sensor can render the ACC disabled for a while. Only tends to happen to mine in snow.

A car indicating to turn off left but within your judgement as ok distance wise because it turning can cause this. Has happened on mine 4 times in 12k miles.
