 The temperature surrounding the radar sensors (rear) becomes extremely high when
the vehicle is driven up-hill for long periods under hot summer weather conditions.
 


 The battery voltage is low. 

 There is a limit to the detection capability of the radar sensors (rear). In the following
cases, the rear vehicle monitoring system's detection capability may weaken and not
operate normally:
 


 The rear bumper near the radar sensors (rear) is deformed.



 Snow, ice or mud adheres to the area near the radar sensors (rear) on the rear
