rected, and the BSD / RCTA warning indicator will disappear. However, if the BSD / RCTA warning 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 and etc.
– Vehicles with body shapes that the radar may not reflect( vehicles with lower body height such as sports cars or a trailer with no cargo) – 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.
& BSD / RCTA approach indicator light / warning buzzer
While the BSD / RCTA is active, the following item( s) will operate to alert the driver:
. The BSD / RCTA approach indicator light( when there are vehicles in the neighboring lanes).
. The BSD / RCTA approach indicator light and warning buzzer( when a vehicle is approaching from the left or right side while reversing)
