STARTING AND OPERATING
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 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
rear radar sensors increases excessively due to long driving on uphill grades in the summer, etc.
– When the temperature around the
rear radar sensors becomes extremely low – When the vehicle battery voltage
lowers – When the vehicle voltage exceeds
the battery voltage rating The BSW / RCTW will resume operation once these conditions are corrected, and the BSW / RCTW OFF indicator will disappear. However, if the BSW / RCTW 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 radar sensors is restricted. The BSW / RCTW detection may be impaired and the system may not operate properly under the following conditions.
– When the rear bumper around the
rear radar sensors is distorted – When ice, snow or mud adheres to
the rear bumper surface around
the rear radar sensors – When stickers, etc. are affixed on
the areas of the rear 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 rear 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 rear
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.
BSW / RCTW APPROACH INDI- CATOR LIGHT / WARNING BUZ- ZER s07bm03
While the BSW / RCTW is active, the following item( s) will operate to alert the driver:
. The BSW / RCTW approach indicator light( when there are vehicles in the neighboring lanes).
. The BSW / RCTW approach indicator light and warning buzzer( when a vehicle is approaching from the left or right side while your vehicle is reversing)
