• When the turn signal is turned off or
you move away from the lane, the
collision warning will be canceled
and the system will return to vehicle
detection state.
WARNING
• The detecting range of the rear
corner radar is determined by a
standard road width, therefore, on a
narrow road, the system may detect
other vehicles in the next next lane
and warn you. In contrast, on a wide
road, the system may not be able to
detect a vehicle driving in the next
lane and may not warn you.
• When the hazard warning flasher is
on, the collision warning by the turn
signal will not operate.
Information
If the driver's seat is on the left side, the
collision warning may occur when you
turn left. Maintain a proper distance with
the vehicles in the left lane. If the driver's
seat is on the right side, the collision
warning may occur when you turn right.
Maintain a proper distance with the
vehicles in the right lane.
