Driving to work yesterday morning (one of only twice that I've driven in active snow/slush), I got the message "AEB Disabled, Radar Blocked" on my dash with a couple associated icons. After a few minutes it went away, and then a few minutes later came back again. After being on for 10-15 minutes I was stopped at a light, so I stopped the car and restarted it and the message was gone.
Just a minute or two after doing that, the system correctly gave me a warning beep when a guy in front of me was turning right and I got a little close to him since I was continuing straight. The message has not come back since.
Has anyone seen this? Could snow or slush getting into the wrong place cause this? Does it need line of sight? Does anyone know where that equipment is installed? Above the window? Looking out through the grills in front of each wheel well? I have gotten the car covered with an inch or two of snow once when I was at work and I did not get that message at that time.
