Fiat Ducato Brake Radar System

[Wicketter]

Has anyone had an issue with the Fiat brake radar system warning light going on and off intermittently. Its a 2019 build with 5400 miles.

I interpret that as a brake warning light
It may suggest
handbrake not fully off
or
Low fluid level
faulty pad sensor or broken wire

Or is it the auto braking system light like the VW 'T' series have ?

 

[Wicketter]

I think that I have solved the problem, it says in the handbook that the radar system may not like fog, heavy rain or low sun. Went out for a run today with a clean windscreen and the radar system is triggered by low sun, when you drive into shade it reverts back to normal. Not convinced that this is one of the best safety systems on the planet.

I wouldn't trust something as important as braking to anything but my right foot.
Technology like this can lull a driver into a false sense of security.

Is this associated with ‘Dynamic Cruise Control’?

If it's a forward collision warning system what good is it if fog and rain could affect it's performance?
