BSD/RCTA 379
Indicator” ☞P382.
. 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
. 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 travelling 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.
