Never got that warning driving in snow or freezing rain. Then again, never seen my emblem or sensors frozen solid.

Does it thaw and start working once you get going?

Happens to me every bad storm. Once enough slush is kicked up from the highway car's in front to put a sheet of slush/ice on the emblem, the warning pops up. If it is below 32 degrees the driving wind will keep that spot frozen and it will never work until you ice-scraper the front emblem. If above 32 then it never happens as the warmer wind melts it quick enough before the error comes up.

I use ACC max distance in snow storms to give the best chance for kicked-up slush to fall back down before hitting my rader emblem.

^ That’s a bummer. They need to put a heating element in there or a heated washer.

As long as its below freezing, it won't thaw. If I get out and wipe it off it will start working again. Its the times like this I miss my Subaru with it's camera based Eyesight driver assist as it didn't have a radar to freeze over.

Same thing happened to me last week when driving a Honda CRV. Good to know I am not the only one suffering through winter fun.
