- A vehicle in the adjacent lane is two lanes away from you, or when a vehicle two lanes away moves into the next lane next to you.
- A trailer or carrier is installed around the rear corner radar.
- The bumper around the rear corner radar is covered by objects such as a bumper sticker, bumper guard, bicycle rack, etc.
- The bumper around the rear corner radar is damaged, or the radar is out of position.
