BSW/LDW automatic deactivation

When dirt, rain or snow cannot be removed by the automatic washer and blower and accumulates on the camera, making it impossible to detect the vehicles or the lane markers, the BSW and/or LDW system will be turned off automatically. The BSW light (green) and/or LDW light (green) will blink, and the “Unavailable : Clean rear camera” will appear in the dot matrix liquid crystal display.

Action to take:

If the message appears, park the vehicle in a safe place, clean the camera unit with a soft cloth. Then turn off and restart the engine.
