WARNING
● The camera unit may not be able to
detect when certain objects are present
such as:
– Pedestrians, bicycles, animals
– Some types of small vehicles such as motorcycles, and very short length
vehicles
– Oncoming vehicles – A vehicle approaching rapidly from
behind. For additional information,
refer to “BSW driving situations” in
this section.
– A vehicle which your vehicle over- takes rapidly. For additional informa-
tion, refer to “BSW driving situa-
tions” in this section.
– A vehicle that merges or changes lanes rapidly directly next to your
vehicle.
● The camera unit may not be able to
detect property when your vehicle trav-
els beside the middle section of a ve-
hicle with long wheelbase (e.g. trailer
truck, semi-trailer, tractor) .
● The camera detection zone is designed
based on a standard lane width. When
driving in a wider lane, the camera unit
may not detect vehicles in an adjacent
lane. When driving in a narrow lane, the
camera unit may detect vehicles driving
two lanes away. ●
The camera unit is designed to ignore
most stationary objects, however ob-
jects such as guardrails, walls, foliage
and parked vehicles may occasionally
be detected. This is a normal operating
condition.
● The camera unit may detect the re-
flected image of vehicles or roadside
objects that are not actually in the de-
tection zone, especially when the road
is wet.
