Hi Folks,
Anyone know what this caution light is? It popped up a few times this morning on the way to town. I could not find it anywhere in the owner's manual.
Thanks!

Collision mitigation system is inoperative. Usually happens when the sensors gets blocked with snow/ice/heavy rain or when the camera gets blocked with Bugs or direct sunlight.

Could be the forward radar sensor also. It is the same warning I got after a front end collision and the sensor was destroyed

Thanks Gents. That makes sense. I was driving east into the rising sun.

Huh, didn't know this thing had a collision mitigation system.

When collision is turned off that symbol is displayed. If you turn it on tha display will disappear.

It's pretty neat, every truck down to the XLs gets the base "CoPilot 360 Technology":

● Autolamp – Auto On/Off Headlamps
● Auto High Beams
● Lane-Keeping System
● Post-Collision Braking
● Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) (Pedestrian Detection, Forward Collision Warning, Dynamic Brake Support)
● Rear View Camera with Dynamic Hitch Assist
● Reverse Sensing System (AFAIK new for 23)
