Gen5 there are several horizontal illuminated light bars across the width of the dash. I thought they were decorative but they are more than that. Are they documented anywhere? I thought they signaled the stopped vehicle ahead of you was moving again but I am not sure. Any insight appreciated. This car amazes me. Maybe old news. Not sure what trim levels support it but on my Limited pressing the wiper stalk forward squirts washer fluid on all the external cameras. Nice for clearing road salt etc. Thanks, J
Blue on the HEV, red on the PHEV. Not equipped on the bottom trims(LE & SE). Illumination notification (if equipped) Under the following conditions, the instrument panel ornament lights blink 2 times to notify the driver. ■ Preceding vehicle start notification Notifies when the preceding vehicle starts off or accelerates while stopped behind the preceding vehicle. This function may also operate while driving at extremely slow speeds immediately before stopping the vehicle. ■ PDA (Proactive Driving Assist) linked notifications Notifies when PDA (Proactive Driving Assist) has detected an operation target. ■Operation description of illumination notification ●PDA (Proactive Driving Assist) linked notifications do not operate when PDA (Proactive Driving Assist) is disabled through a customize setting. ●When the preceding vehicle is close in distance from the vehicle while stopped, the timing for notifying that the preceding vehicle has started off may be delayed. ●This function does not operate when the front camera or front radar sensor does not operate properly such as during bad weather. ●When the proceeding vehicle starts off within approximately 3 seconds after the vehicle is stopped, the illumination notification does not operate. However, the illumination notification operates and follow-up cruising resumes if dynamic radar cruise control is in use. (The manual is your friend.)
