. Do not attach stickers (including
transparent material), install acces-
sories or apply additional paint near
the radar sensors. These conditions
may reduce the ability of the radar
sensors to detect other vehicles.
. The sonar sensors detect stationary
objects behind the vehicle. The sonar
sensor may not detect:
— Small or moving objects
— Wedge-shaped objects
— Object close to the bumper (less than approximately 1 ft (30 cm))
— Thin objects such as rope, wire and chain, etc.
. The brake engagement by the BCI
system is not as effective on a slope
as it is on flat ground. When on a
steep slope the system may not
function properly.
. Do not use the BCI system under the
following conditions because the sys-
tem may not function properly. — When driving with a tire that is
not within normal tire conditions
(for example, tire wear, low tire
pressure, installation of spare tire,
tire chains, non-standard wheels).
— When the vehicle is equipped with non-original brake parts or sus-
pension parts.
. Excessive noise (for example, audio
system volume, open vehicle window)
will interfere with the chime sound,
and it may not be heard.
