There is a radar sensor smack dab in the middle of the nose, just a couple inches below the tip of the hood. The Front Radar. png shows it as red.
How did I find it? I cleverly placed a replica of my license plate centered on the car's nose, and by golly the top seems to have been reflecting radio waves right back into the radar. This came to my attention when my EAP would quit the job about 10 to 15 minutes into use. Very frustrating when beginning a 680 mile weekend.
In the interest of SCIENCE, I had the top 1.5 inches of the sticker trimmed, thus removing the name of the state. Magically, my several thousand dollar EAP feature returned to fulltime use.
When I looked at the owner's manual, I did see the diagram on page 58 which makes it look way the heck off to the passenger/port side. The diagram on page 3 shows the radar a little more centered, but also lower. But then again, diagram 3 doesn't show the radar explicitly.
The moral of the story: Keep any metal-like stickers close to replicating the stock plate holder, low toward the battery cooling grill, and away from that cute little nose.
