• The stereo camera has characteristics
similar to the human eyes, so if the front
visibility is poor caused by fog or heavy
rain, etc., the stereo camera will also be
difficult to detect a vehicle, obstacle or
partition line in front of you.
• The detection of a vehicle, obstacle or
partition line in front of you is limited
within the range of vision of the stereo
camera. Also, it takes a few seconds
until the stereo camera judges an object
as the target of the system operating and
warning.

not detect any obstacles properly
and the dual camera brake support
may not function properly. Also, if
applying them to an area other than
the prohibited area, it may affect

cannot prevent all crashes. Always
make an effort to drive safely and
avoid unnecessary sudden braking
when stopping or decelerating.
