Tailgating Warning Always Green

[flashran]

Hi guys,

 

Do anyone else have this issue where the tailgate warning (the green/amber car logo on the cluster screen) is always green when a vehicle  is detected? It should become ember if you don't keep enough distance from the car in front 

 

The adaptive cruise control and forward collision warning works so I assume the system does know how far the car in front is but the light doesn't change.

What setting do you have it at? It is on the steering wheel, above the heat function. Think there is 3 different "sensitivity" or distances you can set.

I've tested with all three settings. Always green, never amber

It only works above certain speed.

It only changes to Amber if your to close and not on the brakes. Or if a car cuts in front of you without your foot on the brakes. At least that’s how it works in my Silverado same setup though.

To really see if it is working, you are going to have to get closer to the car in front of you. I take it you have never seen the flashing red lights on the windshield when you are really close, they get your attention.

I do get flashing red lights but never an amber car light. Always green

You can try this, not sure how long you have had the problem though,

Cleaning the System

If the FCA system does not seem to

operate properly, cleaning the

outside of the windshield in front of

the camera sensor behind the

rearview mirror, and cleaning the

front of the vehicle where radar

sensors are located, may correct

the issue.

I’ll give it a go and see but I do have this problem for some time now and the car been through a few washes since. As I mentioned the adaptive cruise and flashing red lights are working so it seems the system does calculate distance from the car. Also changing the gap settings affects the distance with the adaptive cruise control

I do also notice some cold mornings I need to put the defroster on high or else I am high beaming everyone. The camera gets condensation on the windshield. And it will say front camera blocked clean windshield.
