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.

      PF63 Oil Filters Going Away?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      The guy that owns K&P filters last I checked in with him has over 300,000 miles on his Dodge base Hemi using his own 35 micron absolute stainless mesh filter from its first oil change.    The GM study I've posted a dozen times shows the relationship in engine life based in multiples of base units, not miles or years. That is the base unit is the number of miles the motor ran using the reference filter efficiency.    The above two paragraphs dismantle anecdotal arguments IF one changes oil often enough to prevent particle formation and the motor is in otherwise good shape. That is not full of silica (no air filter) or suffering a metallurgical issue that is not part of the lubrication discussion. Poor heat treat in example.   Data from UOA's I've reviewed from more than a few engines can show remarkably broad variations in oil cleanliness using the exact same filter over the course of an engines life.     Lastly there is the common sense of it. Wear debris WILL circulate the engine BEFORE it ever sees a filter in route to that filter and WILL harm the pump which NEVER sees filtered oil.    Alpha question then becomes, given the facts, how long do you believe is a reasonable service life from a vehicle you are certain you will not pass down? That is the junk yard will be it's resting place when you're done with it? (the moral issue most don't care about).    Omega question is then how diligent are you prepared to be in general mechanical, air & oil maintenance? Preventing particulates and keeping them sufficiently dilute; preventing the precursors from generation, amalgamation and precipitation.    If I get a good look at the engine bay of a vehicle I have a fair idea of the owners commitment to the inside of the power train. That 30 micron WIX is still more efficient than a sieve.

      It also depends on what criteria someone is using for “best” when talking filters.  Are we going off best efficiency?   Best quality/QC?  Etc. because the two may not mutually exclusive.

      They’re not the same wiz as 10-15 years ago.  QC has fallen pretty hard.  The XP line was never good though in the first place.    https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/wix-filter-rusted-through.386492/post-6991372   https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/i-ve-used-my-last-wix-filter.27299/   https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/looking-for-a-better-replacement-for-wix-51258.403977/   https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/convince-me-in-using-the-purolator-boss.401537/post-7420147   the forums are littered with posts and examples of not great wix filters the last couple years

      I'd guess that it's because they are Mann-Hummel filters since about 2016, they own Wix and are mostly all made in China now.
