- If the sensors detect an approaching vehicle, an audible alert will sound and the warning indicator on the outside rearview mirror will flash. The system will notify the driver through the LCD display.
- If the detected vehicle moves out of the detection zone in the opposite direction or moves slowly, the warning is canceled.
- The system may malfunction due to other factors or circumstances, so always pay attention to your surroundings.
❈ If the bumper is blocked on either side by a barrier or vehicle, system sensitivity may decrease.
WARNING
- The warning indicator on the outside rearview mirror illuminates whenever the system detects a vehicle behind. To avoid accidents, do not focus only on the warning indicator and neglect what is around the vehicle.
- Drive safely even if the vehicle is equipped with a BSD (Blind-Spot Detection) system. Do not rely solely on the system; check yourself before changing lanes. The system may not warn the driver under some conditions, so always check the surroundings while driving.
CAUTION
- The system may malfunction if the bumper has been replaced or if repair work has been performed near the sensor.
- The detection zone varies depending on road width. If the road is narrow, the system may detect other vehicles in the second adjacent lane.
- Conversely, if the road is very wide, the system may not detect other vehicles in the adjacent lane.
- The system may be disabled due to strong electromagnetic waves.
