! Operating conditions s07bm0201
The BSD / RCTA will operate when all of the following conditions are met .
. The ignition switch is in the “ ON ” position .
. The BSD / RCTA warning indicator and BSD / RCTA OFF indicator are turned off .
. The vehicle is driven at speeds above 7 mph ( 12 km / h ) ( except when reversing ).
. The select lever is in the “ R ” position ( RCTA only ).
The BSD / RCTA will not operate in the following situations .
. The BSD / RCTA OFF indicator appears .
. The vehicle speed is below 6 mph ( 10 km / h ) even when the BSD / RCTA OFF indicator does not appear ( except when reversing ).
NOTE
. In the following cases , the BSD / RCTA will stop operating and the BSD / RCTA warning indicator will appear . – When a malfunction occurs in the system , including the BSD / RCTA approach indicator light
|
. If the BSD / RCTA warning indicator appears , exercise proper caution . For details , refer to “ BSD / RCTA Warning Indicator ” FP368 .
. In the following cases , the BSD / RCTA will temporarily stop operating ( or may stop operating ) and the BSD / RCTA OFF indicator will appear . – When the radar sensor becomes significantly misaligned ( If the orientation of the radar sensor is shifted for any reason , readjustment is required . Have the sensor adjusted at a SUBARU dealer .)
– When a large amount of snow or ice sticks to the rear bumper surface around the radar sensors
– When the vehicle is driven on a snow-covered road or in an environment in which there are no objects around ( such as in a desert ) for a prolonged period of time
– When the temperature around the radar sensors increases excessively due to long driving on uphill grades in the summer , etc .
– When the temperature around the radar sensors becomes extremely low
– When the vehicle battery voltage

lowers – When the vehicle voltage exceeds the battery voltage rating The BSD / RCTA will resume operation once these conditions are corrected , and the BSD / RCTA OFF indicator will disappear . However , if the BSD / RCTA OFF indicator appears for a prolonged period of 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
