BSD / RCTA
& System Operation s07bm02
! 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” FP364.
. 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
– During adverse weather conditions such as rain, snow or fog
– When driving on wet roads such as snow-covered roads and through puddles
