Detecting Sensor
The rear corner radars are the sen-
sors inside the rear bumper for
detecting the side/rear areas. Always
keep the rear bumper clean for prop-
er operation of the system.
✽NOTICE
• The system may not work proper-ly when the bumper has been
damaged, or if the rear bumper
has been replaced or repaired.
• The sensing range differs some- what according to the width of the
road. When the road is narrow,
the system may detect other vehi-
cles in the next lane.
• The system may turn off due to strong electromagnetic waves.
• Always keep the sensor clean.
• NEVER arbitrarily disassemble the sensor component nor apply
any impact on the sensor compo-
nent.
• Be careful not to apply unneces- sary force on the radar sensor or
sensor cover. If the sensor is
forcibly moved out of proper
alignment, the system may not
operate correctly. In this case, a
warning message may not be dis-
played. (Continued)CAUTION
