Detecting Sensor
The rear radars are the sensors
inside the rear bumper for detecting
the side and rear areas. Always keep
the rear bumper clean for proper
operation of the system.
The driver should always use
extreme caution while operat-
ing the vehicle, whether or not
the warning light on the out-
side rearview mirror illumi-
nates or there is a warning
alarm.
Playing the vehicle audio sys-
tem at high volume may offset
the Blind-Spot Collision
Warning system warning
sounds.
If any other warning sound
such as seat belt warning
chime is already generated,
the Blind-Spot Collision
Warning (BCW) system warn-
ing may not sound.
CAUTION
OAD058031N
The system may not work
properly when the bumper
has been damaged, or if the
rear bumper has been
replaced or repaired.
The sensing range differs
somewhat according to the
width of the road. When the
road is narrow, the system
may detect other vehicles in
the next lane.
The system may turn off due
to strong electromagnetic
waves.
Always keep the sensors
clean.
NEVER arbitrarily disassem-
ble the sensor component nor
apply any impact on the sen-
sor component.

There are more than two lanemarkers on the road in front of you.
The lane marker is very thick or thin.
The lane is very wide or narrow.
The lane marker ahead is not visi- ble due to rain, snow, water on the
road, damaged or stained road
surface, or other factors.
The shadow is on the lane marker by a median strip, trees, guardrail,
noise barriers, etc.
The lane markers are complicated or a structure substitutes for the
lines such as a construction area.
There are crosswalk signs or other symbols on the road.
The lane marker in a tunnel is stained with oil, etc.
The lane suddenly disappears such as at the intersection. When external condition is inter-
vened
The brightness outside changes
suddenly such as when entering or
exiting a tunnel, or when passing
under a bridge.
The brightness outside is too low such as when the headlamps are
not on at night or the vehicle is
going through a tunnel.
There is a boundary structure in the roadway such as a concrete
barrier, guardrail and reflector post
that is inadvertently being detected
by the camera.
When light coming from a street light or an oncoming vehicle is
reflected on a wet road surface
such as a puddle in the road.
The field of view in front is obstructed by sun glare.
There is not enough distance between you and the vehicle in
front to be able to detect the lane
marker or the vehicle ahead is driv-
ing on the lane marker. Driving on a steep grade, over a
hill, or when driving on a curved
road.
The adverse road conditions cause excessive vehicle vibrations while
driving.
The surrounding of the inside rear view mirror temperature is high
due to direct sunlight, etc.
