BCI SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations for
the BCI system. Failure to follow the warn-
ings and instructions for proper use of the
BCI system could result in serious injury or
death.
●Always check surroundings and turn to
check what is behind you before back-
ing up. The radar sensors detect ap-
proaching (moving) vehicles. The radar
sensors cannot detect every object such
as:
– Pedestrians, bicycles, motorcycles, animals or child operated toy
vehicles
– A vehicle that is passing at speeds greater than approximately 15 mph
(24 km/h)
● The radar sensors may not detect ap-
proaching vehicles in certain situations:
– Illustration a: When a vehicle parked next to you obstructs the beam of the
radar sensor.
– Illustration b: When the vehicle is parked in an angled parking space.

WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations for
the RCTA system. Failure to operate the
vehicle in accordance with these system
limitations could result in serious injury or
death.
●Always check surroundings and turn to
check what is behind you before back-
ing up. The radar sensors detect ap-
proaching (moving) vehicles. The radar
sensors cannot detect every object such
as:
– Pedestrians, bicycles, motorcycles, animals or child-operated toy
vehicles
– A vehicle that is passing at speeds greater than approximately 19 mph
(30 km/h)
– A vehicle that is passing at speeds lower than approximately 5 mph
(8 km/h)
● The radar sensors may not detect ap-
proaching vehicles in certain situations:
– Illustration a: When a vehicle parked next to you obstructs the beam of the
radar sensor. – Illustration b: When the vehicle is
parked in an angled parking space.
– Illustration c: When the vehicle is parked on inclined ground.
– Illustration d: When an approaching vehicle turns into your vehicle’s park-
ing lot aisle.
– Illustration e: When the angle formed by your vehicle and approaching ve-
hicle is small
● The following conditions may reduce
the ability of the radar to detect other
vehicles:
– Severe weather
– Road spray
– Ice/frost/snow build-up on the vehicle
– Dirt build- up on the vehicle
● Do not attach stickers (including trans-
parent material) , install accessories or
apply additional paint near the radar
sensors. These conditions may reduce
the ability of the radar to detect other
vehicles ●
Excessive noise (e.g. audio system vol-
ume, open vehicle window) will inter-
fere with the chime sound, and it may
not be heard.

o Interference by other radar sources.
o The camera area of windshield isfogged up, or covered with dirt, water
drops, ice, snow, etc.
o Strong light (for example, sunlight or high beams from oncoming vehicles)
enters the front camera. Strong light
causes the area around the pedes-
trian to be cast in a shadow, making
it difficult to see.
o A sudden change in brightness oc- curs. (For example, when the vehicle
enters or exits a tunnel or a shaded
area or lightning flashes.)
o The poor contrast of a person to the background, such as having clothing
color or pattern which is similar to
the background.
o The pedestrian’s profile is partially obscured or unidentifiable due to the
pedestrian transporting luggage,
wearing bulky or very loose-fitting
clothing or accessories.
● The system performance may degrade
in the following conditions:
o The vehicle is driven on a slippery road. o The vehicle is driven on a slope.
o Excessively heavy baggage is loaded
in the rear seat or the trunk room of
your vehicle.
● The system is designed to automatically
check the sensor (radar and camera)’s
functionality, within certain limitations.
The system may not detect blockage of
sensor areas covered by ice, snow or
stickers, for example. In these cases,
the system may not be able to warn the
driver properly. Be sure that you check,
clean and clear sensor areas regularly.
● In some road and traffic conditions, the
FEB with pedestrian detection system
may unexpectedly apply partial braking.
When acceleration is necessary, de-
press the accelerator pedal to override
the system.
● Excessive noise will interfere with the
warning chime sound, and the chime
may not be heard.
