False front proximity warning

[b74heavy]

I have a 2016 Hyundai Genesis with a frontal proximity warning system. I bought the car new. I get a proximity warning if stopped at a red light in traffic with all cars around me stopped and not moving. The dearler told me it was possibly dirt on the sensor but I doubt that. It is very intermettent. Has happened about 6 times in 12000 miles. Has anyone else had this problem? How do you attach a video? I have one I took with my cell phone. The video is an MP4.

It was dirt on the sensor.

Yes, its usually a snow flake or a bit of dust on the sensor. I just turn it off until I get somewhere that I can wipe it clean with some quick detailer. This happens with pretty much all frontal proximity sensors from my experience, just from the dirt and debris that hits the front of the car as you drive. Nothing abnormal.

My car has around 11k km and it has happened a handful of times for reference.

Thanks for the info. It had been a while since I cleaned the front of the car. A lot of rain here. This is the first auto I have had with front sensors. Glad to hear it is normal. I have no other problems with the Genesis that I bought new since I took delivery. This is amazing considering the amount of technology installed on these cars.

I'm having the opposite problem. My front sensors aren't working when I pull into my garage. But if I shift into reverse they start beeping and work fine from there on out.
