If the message of pre-collision assistance always appears, you should go to the dealer and check if there are any potential problems

My front grille doesn't look like that, I'm afraid. There's a black plastic blank which is part of the plastic grille under the number plate.

Oh okay. I did feel around behind the plastic but there didn't seem to be anything there. Meanwhile, it's booked in yet again. I'm sure they won't find anything.

This always happens to my Puma when a car is turning left in front of me, also the same on my previous car which was a Mk4 Focus.

Have you tried reducing the sensitivity in the settings?
Because the car in front slows right down to turn, depending on your speed, it thinks there is a possibility of a collision with a stationary vehicle, especially if you haven't put your foot on the brake (just in case).
changing the sensitivity may stop it being so eager...

Is the sensor under the number plate not for the adaptive cruise ? I have an ST hence no adaptive cruise BUT I do have the anti collision which I thought was using sensors / camera at the top of the windscreen ?
