• Dirt or debris on the camera surface.
• Environmental conditions like rain, fog, snow, or dew.
•
Bright sunlight or glare from another light source.
• Condensation (water droplets or mist) on the camera surface.
What to do:
Continue to your destination. Your vehicle is OK to drive.
This is often a temporary issue that clears up on its own. If the alert does not clear by the end of your drive:
•
Inspect and clean the front camera area at the top center of the windshield before your next planned drive.
•
Check the camera surface for condensation, dirt, or other debris and attempt to clear any obstruction.
See the About Autopilot on page 98 sections “How It Works” and “Cleaning Cameras and Sensors” for more
information on clearing dirt or debris from that area of the vehicle.
Although condensation on the inside of the front camera enclosure cannot be wiped clean, you can usually clear it
quicker by following these steps:
1.
Pre-condition the cabin with the temperature set to High and A/C turned ON.
2.
Turn on the front windshield defroster.
If this alert persists throughout subsequent drives but no front camera obstruction is visible, schedule service at your
earliest convenience. Your vehicle is OK to drive in the meantime.

Cruise control unavailable
Continue driving to allow cameras to calibrate
What this alert means:
Trac-Aware Cruise Control and Autosteer are unavailable because the cameras on your vehicle are not fully
calibrated.
Your vehicle must maneuver with great precision when features like Trac-Aware Cruise Control and Autosteer are
active. Before these features can be used for the first time, the cameras must complete an initial self-calibration.
Occasionally, one or more cameras can become uncalibrated.
What to do:
Continue to your destination. Your vehicle is OK to drive.
Trac-Aware Cruise Control and Autosteer will remain unavailable until camera calibration is complete.
When calibration is complete, Trac-Aware Cruise Control and Autosteer should be available.
For your convenience, a calibration progress indicator is displayed on the touchscreen. Calibration typically
completes after your vehicle has driven 20-25 miles (32-40 km), but the distance varies depending on road and
environmental conditions. For example, driving on a straight road with highly visible lane markings helps the
cameras calibrate quicker.
If the alert persists and camera calibration has not completed after your vehicle has driven 100 miles (160 km) or
more, or Trac-Aware Cruise Control and Autosteer remain unavailable despite successful camera calibration,
schedule service at your earliest convenience. Your vehicle is OK to drive in the meantime.
