BSD / RCTA 381
– When the vehicle battery becomes overvoltage When the above conditions are corrected, the BSD / RCTA will resume operation and the BSD / RCTA OFF indicator will disappear. However, if the BSD / RCTA OFF indicator has appeared for a prolonged time, have the system inspected at a SUBARU dealer as soon as possible.
. The detectability of the radar sensors is restricted. The BSD / RCTA detection may be impaired and the system may not operate properly under the following conditions. – When the rear bumper around the radar sensors is distorted
– When ice, snow or mud adheres to the rear bumper surface around the radar sensors
– When stickers, etc. are affixed on the areas of the radar sensors on the rear bumper
– During adverse weather conditions such as rain, snow or fog
– When driving on wet roads such as snow-covered roads or through puddles
. The radar sensors may not detect or may have difficulty detecting the following.
– Small motorcycles, bicycles, pedestrians, stationary objects on the road or road side, etc.
– Vehicles with body shapes that the radar may not reflect( vehicles with a low body height such as sports cars or a trailer with no cargo)
– Vehicles that are not approaching your vehicle even though they are in the detection area( either on a neighboring lane to the rear or beside your vehicle when reversing)( The system determines the presence of approaching vehicles based on data detected by the radar sensors.) – Vehicles traveling at significantly different speeds
– Vehicles driving parallel to your vehicle at almost the same speed for a prolonged time – Oncoming vehicles – Vehicles in a lane beyond the neighboring lane – Vehicles traveling at a significantly lower speed that you are trying to overtake
. On a road with extremely narrow lanes, the system may detect vehicles driving in a lane next to the neighboring lane.
