Starting and operating/BSD/RCTA
the surroundings with your eyes
when reversing the vehicle.
Example 2
1) The detection range of the radar sensors
C) Vehicle that may be detected
NOTE
The system may detect that a vehicle
(C) is passing in front of your vehicle.
Always be sure to check the surroundings with your eyes when reversing the
vehicle.
& System operation
! Operating conditions
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
6 mph (10 km/h) (except when reversing).
. The shift lever/select lever is in the “R”
position (RCTA only).
The BSD/RCTA will not operate in the
following situation s.
. 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” F7-59.
. In the following cases, the BSD/
RCTA will temporarily stop operating
(or may stop operating) and the BSD/
RCTA warning 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
