Eyesight disabled. Check manual. Several warning lights on, including Check Engine. Hmmm… I switch it off and then restart. Warnings and lights still there.
Drive it home, all eyes and ears, but there aren’t issues driving it.
Get home, park it and lock it, and come inside to consult the manual, as the car told me to do. Not much value there, it says there’s a problem with the Eyesight. Kinda figured that out already. So, find myself wondering if my Auto-Start Eliminator has failed or there’s a problem with my Pedal Commander. Or if the Eyesight itself has crapped out and I will now get to visit the dealer.
After about 10 minutes, I go outside and restart it and voila! The warning lights and messages are gone. Wait another 10 minutes, try again, and still good.
Back story. Last May, a local glass shop replaced the broken OEM Carlex windshield with PGW. I was sent to them by the dealer. The shop insisted there was no need to recalibrate the Eyesight and the dealer said only maybe one in ten actually needs recalibrating, so I should hold off unless there were issues. I was skeptical, but took a long road trip a couple of weeks later and had zero issues with the adaptive cruise. And since then, on two occasions, the Eyesight has activated the forward collision avoidance braking. And it occasionally tells me the the car in front has moved, if I’m fiddling with the radio or something and don’t move quickly enough for the nanny.
The evidence would suggest that the calibration is OK, yah think? My gut feel is today’s excitement was just the electronics getting their shorts in a wad.
Anyone else experience something like this?
If so, were there more follow-on issues later?
