Hi All,
Does anyone else get the above message whenever it is raining, is this a fault, as I would imagine that during the rain we would like as much assistance as possible when it comes to staying safe?
Many thanks

depends on how strong rain is it. It is connected with ACC and I got it a few times. Mostly because my front badge was dirty or covered in snow but strong raind also triggered error.

Only snow as a cause for me too, when the bulk of what was on the bonnet slid over it.

I've had the error twice. Both times on the motorway in the dark with heavy rain, loads of spray and heavy traffic. Just what I needed while concentrating on staying alive was a loud Ding, a bright yellow warning light and a message to read!!!! And the badge was clean.
I hate front assist. I have also had the brakes slam on hard (only for a second) on 3 occasions now for no reason at all. It's really scarey.
I now turn it off every time I start the car. Just 3 button presses on the right had side of the steering wheel.

So you have to go to the dealer see the faults and maybe they will replace it. I heard this issue again has been happend in other cars.

Thanks, I was on the motorway too and it usually disappears after I get off or the next time I start the car

I think that the dealer could see these errors and the reason. I think that you must go to check it. Record it with camera its very good idea but its very dangerous for you and the others so if was you i would call to the dealer immediately. Sometimes new cars has errors so warranty helping us.
