Front Collision Alert Removal

[AndrewF]

Is there any way to turn off or deactivate the alerts for front collision warning? I do have the system turned off for both vehicles and pedestrians so I would've hoped that would've done it, however whenever the windshield is blocked or even when the weather is foggy i still get the windshield blocked error message along with front collision system deactivated. 
 

It would be one thing if it was just once and I could toggle away the alert, however after a few seconds it will come back so it is very annoying/distracting. It seems even minor weather fog causes the system to have issues...

You "should" be able to go settings from the infotainment screen, touch Settings > Vehicle > Collision/Detection Systems and turn it off.  

 

If it will let you, it will turn it off and you will have the FCA disabled yellow indicator always on the dash.  If it can't be disabled from the radio, you could pull the fuse but you will get not only the light but also warnings on the dash to service the forward collision. 

 

Also, try running your windshield defroster to see if that helps it.  

 

You can't remove the system however as it will create a further host of problems.

Thanks.  Sounds like I'm out of luck.  I've previously gone into the settings and turned those systems off (and have the yellow indicator on the dash saying they're disabled) but still get the alerts.  I can understand when the windshield is fogged/frosted over, but a significant portion of the mornings around here have foggy weather and every time it triggers the alerts.  I'll try running the window defroster but I guess I'll just have to live with it.

I was recently driving my Hyundai and would have rear-ended  another vehicle if it wasn't for the collision avoidance kicking in.

 

I would never disable this.

It would be interesting to see statistics on the number of rear end collisions before these sytems were the norm and after.  

 

Part of me thinks its made us less alert drivers and too dependant on technology. That said, I'd rather have them, it just seems with all the technology these days, self driving, blind spot alerts, collision alerts, including new AI systems that will actually write emails and papers and do research for us, we are setting our brains up to atrophy early.

 

Of course learning to use technology might be the offsetting benefit?

My WT does the same thing. I have everything i can shut off shut off. From time to time i get the dash warning then it goes away soon after. Its almost like a glitch, as i know the windshield is clear and its not humid, so shouldnt be any fog on the camera or cameras. Mine so far, only does it on start up.
