STARTING AND OPERATING
ment 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 – During adverse weather conditions
such as rain, snow or fog – When driving on wet roads such as
snow-covered roads and through puddles
. The radar sensors may not detect or may have difficulty detecting the following vehicles and objects.
– 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 lower body height such as a trailer
with no cargo and sports cars) – 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 in parallel at almost the same speed as your
vehicle 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.
