The sensing range differs somewhat according to thewidth of the road. When theroad is narrow, the systemmay detect and alert to othervehicles in the next lane.
On the contrary, on wide roads, the system may not beable to detect an automobilethat is driving on surroundinglanes and may not be able toalert.
The system may turn off due if interfered by electromagneticinterference.
Always keep the sensors and bumpers near the sensorclean.
