BSD / RCTA
. If the BSD / RCTA warning indicator appears, exercise proper caution. For details, refer to“ BSD / RCTA Warning Indicator” FP419.
. 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 rear corner radars become significantly misaligned( If the orientation of the rear corner radars 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 rear corner radars
– 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 rear corner radars increases excessively due to long driving on uphill grades in the summer, etc.
– When the temperature around the rear corner radars 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 rear corner radars 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 rear corner radars is distorted
– When ice, snow or mud adheres to the rear bumper surface around the rear corner radars
– When stickers, etc. are affixed on the areas of the rear corner radars 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 rear corner radars 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 rear corner radars.)
– 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
