NOTElUnder the following conditions, the radar sensor (front) may not be able to detect vehicles ahead
or obstructions correctly and each system may not operate normally.
lThe rear surface of a vehicle ahead does not reflect radio waves effectively, such as an
unloaded trailer or an automobile with a loading platform covered by a soft top, vehicles with
a hard plastic tailgate, and round-shaped vehicles.
lVehicles ahead with low vehicle height and thus less area for reflecting radio waves.lVisibility is reduced due to a vehicle ahead casting off water, snow, or sand from its tires and
onto your windshield.
lThe trunk/luggage compartment is loaded with heavy objects or the rear passenger seats are
occupied.
lIce, snow, or soiling is on the front surface of the front emblem.lDuring inclement weather such as rain, snow, or sand storms.lWhen driving near facilities or objects emitting strong radio waves.lUnder the following conditions, the radar sensor (front) may not be able to detect vehicles ahead
or obstructions.
lThe beginning and end of a curve.lRoads with continuous curves.lNarrow lane roads due to road construction or lane closures.lThe vehicle ahead enters the radar sensor's blind spot.lThe vehicle ahead is running abnormally due to accident or vehicle damage.lRoads with repeated up and down slopeslDriving on poor roads or unpaved roads.lThe distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead is extremely short.lA vehicle suddenly comes close such as by cutting into the lane.lTo prevent incorrect operation of the system, use tires of the same specified size, manufacturer,
brand, and tread pattern on all four wheels. In addition, do not use tires with significantly
different wear patterns or tire pressures on the same vehicle (Including the temporary spare tire).
lIf the battery power is weak, the system may not operate correctly.lWhen driving on roads with little traffic and few vehicles ahead or obstructions for the radar
sensor (front) to detect,“Radar blocked”may be temporarily displayed, however, this does not
indicate a problem.
