From the owners manual.

Either you turned it off by accident, malfunction, or clean your windshield.

The symbol is for Forward Collision Alert. It shouldn't be staying on. Check the manual, I believe that's an option that can be turned off.

Must be a 2024. AFAIK the 2023's do not have that option.

Try to turn the car off and then back on. I have had several rogue warning messages they arrive and then go away with a reboot. Too much tech junk on today’s cars!!

Every Corvette Owner with Automatic Emergency Braking should see that on their dash before heading on-track!)
It is in the settings menu of the infotainment system. Hopefully it is merely disabled, but keep us posted if it is related to a dirty camera lens! I'd personally be interested to see how dirty the lens has to get to disable.

Good Luck!

So that begs the question, Does track mode disable that system?

Curious,

I was able to remove warning icon by allowing the ever intrusive government nannies to be operational on AEB/ FCA. I checked alert and brake on both and warning light disappears...ugh...

Saw this post and mine is lit as well and my Lane Keep Assist is not operable. Can I ask you how you got yours to go away? Went thru the whole 'Settings' menu and can't find where it's located (To turn off/on). Thanks!

That icon stays on as I disabled that crap day 1 when I got my car

I have seen that stuff apply the breaks when it thinks you are about to wreck but are only driving hard on tristy roads with trees on the edges

F all that stuff

Both my vehicles have orange lights all over the dash, I think it is stupid that I drive brand new stuff with warning lights lit but that is how it is in this nanny world we live in.

The only way to get that icon to turn off is to set the Object and Pedestrian detection systems to include automatic braking. That light comes on if you turn them both functions off or set them to “Notify Only” which is how mine are set. Occasionally the dash screen flashes an alert because there is something ahead I haven’t corrected my course for yet. Notify only deactivates the automatic braking.

I set mine to “Notify only” because unintentional emergency braking with the seat belts auto retracting is not a pleasant experience. I have my AMG set the same way.

Lane correction has an on/off button in the overhead console.

Same here. The feature kept slamming on the brakes when I was in traffic so I gave up on it. Now I stare at the warning. Next to it I have the traction control warning glowing all the time since I disable that every time I get in the car. I’ve considered taping over them with black tape like I did on the Check Engine light on my HC C5 nearly 25 years ago.

I’m lucky… my preferred driving position the steering wheel blocks the light. It’s beyond stupid to have a nanny light on just because you decline to use a feature that didn’t exist in most cars five years ago and could actually cause an accident if it trips by mistake and a truck rear ends you. It’s a rare fail on the C8.

That's the other issue I'm having. My "Lake Keep Assist" is also not functioning........
I'm thinking there is something wrong with my front camera?

I've gotten the icon a couple of times. It is normally caused by the windshield having something obscuring the camera at the top of the window. A dirty windshield, condensation or dew on the windshield can cause it.
