Mine handled great, but I do not have the OEM tires anymore, they were junk in the snow.How did the Civic handle in the snow? Have not had too much of an opportunity to drive in the snow in Kansas City this year.
It also needs the windshield in front of the monocular camera to be clean.Today the lens on the bumper was NOT covered with anything, and occasionally the orange "BRAKE" light warning came up and beeped. Not at all sure why.
If they did that, they'd also have to build in detection of braking effectiveness and compensation for it. The normal CMBS reaction timings would probably be way too little, way too late, on a slippery surface.It would suck to not have the technology work just when you need it most, in the snow.
Over time I became aware of a specific driving scenario that would always trigger a false positive to the Forward Collision Warning in my 2013 Accord.... anytime I was cresting a rise in the road (even very slight) and there was sunshine directly on the windshield.... it would trip the FCW.Mine handled great, but I do not have the OEM tires anymore, they were junk in the snow.

Applying wax on it can help since it makes snow and freezing rain harder to stick, you might get some sticking on but overall it`s going to help, better than taking no action at all.Not sure how they can fix the snow sensing problem unless they develop some kind of surface that snow can't stick to.
It was clean, the entire car was spotlessIt also needs the windshield in front of the monocular camera to be clean.
No pattern to it happening on mine either. and I've owned mine since December but it just started happening in the last couple weeks, scares the crap out of me when the car brakes on me for no darn reasonOver time I became aware of a specific driving scenario that would always trigger a false positive to the Forward Collision Warning in my 2013 Accord.... anytime I was cresting a rise in the road (even very slight) and there was sunshine directly on the windshield.... it would trip the FCW.
I have had a couple of false positive to FCW in the Civic but haven't yet noticed if there is a pattern to it.
My only point was there's more to the problem than just the radar antenna you said was clean.It was clean, the entire car was spotless
The car had been fully cleaned not long before. there was not a spec of dirt on it. Since I'm well aware these things need to be kept clean I am making sure they are cleanMy only point was there's more to the problem than just the radar antenna you said was clean.
That's fine and I'm happy for you. But all I was responding to was "the lens on the bumper was NOT covered with anything". You said nothing to indicate that the other sensor was clean or filthy or that you'd checked it or considered it. That's ALL I was responding to. I wasn't inquiring about the washing history of your vehicle or questioning your total knowledge of its systems.The car had been fully cleaned not long before. there was not a spec of dirt on it.

And I responded that the entire car was spotless at the time it happened, no dirt no snow no ice nothing. So you asked, I responded. That's how these things work............That's fine and I'm happy for you. But all I was responding to was "the lens on the bumper was NOT covered with anything".

:surprise: I thought your car was just giving you a warning about the sensor being blocked. Didn't know it was actually braking because of it. Best to bring it to the dealership if its braking.No pattern to it happening on mine either. and I've owned mine since December but it just started happening in the last couple weeks, scares the crap out of me when the car brakes on me for no darn reason
