Front sonar? (Read 1st before eye roll)
So I get home with a load of groceries and back the G into the garage. I want to leave room for unpacking so I back in before the the rear sensors start bleating red. I lower the garage door and go in the house. I go back a few hours laters and actually see how close the garage door was to hitting the front of car the (YIKES!) so I turn the car on and put it in reverse. When I do that I start to here a beep (I know the rear sensors) but I look at the camera and at one point when I get out of reverse I see a message saying "Check Front of Car" or "Check Front". I was completely freaked out. Needless to say I tried getting the car close again to snap a pic of the message and lost my nerve before. Anybody ever see the message?

Nope, not for front of car, and I parked in world's tiniest garage for a year.

I suspect that at startup, the front sonar (for cruise control) does a power up self check.
I also suspect that with something that close to the sonar device in the bumper, it fails the self check.
Just a WAG.

Wouldn't front sonar only be included with the Tech Package?
Not sure but I've never got that message. Also, my garage door won't come down if I'm too close because the sensor beam for the door hits my front lip...so I've got that going for me...

The tech package with intelligent cruise control is pretty neat. I have it in my 2011. Set the speed and the only input you need to provide is steering. The car automatically brakes and accelerates for you. You can also select the distance you would like.
Its nice in traffic as long as speeds don't drop below 20mph. The cruise control will disengage when speed drops below 20mph

Front proximity sensor is nice so you don't accidentally park too close to another vehicle when pulling into parking spaces.

I see you're in Dallas. You must have the patience of a saint. I have used the ICC once in traffic. Once. The minimum distance is such that drivers will repeatedly jump in between you and the car which was in front of you, causing the ICC to brake to the appropriate distance, allowing for another driver to repeat the process, and eventually leading to an aneurysm. No thanks. I reserve my ICC for road trips only. It's fantastic on trips through West Texas with speed limits up to 85mph.
2 bars is 100 feet.
1 bar is 50 feet.
I'm not 100% sure if that's exact but that's what it appears to be.
