Description of the problem | The forward collision alert system just doesn't work. I cannot make it produce a collision alert no matter what i do. For example it is advertised to provide a heads up visual warning as well as an audial warning if i approach the car in front of me to rapidly. It does not the system also a green automobile icon when you are following closer than about 200 feet to the vehicle in front of you. The green icon is advertised to turn yellow if you follow too close. It does not. The only time that i have ever seen the red heads up display is when it is a false alert. All and all, this system which was touted to be a great safety feature is totally worthless. |
