When Driving
Radar Sensor
NOTE
ꢀyꢀIn the following cases, the radar sensor may not be able to detect vehicles ahead or
obstructions.
ꢀyꢀThe rear surface of a vehicle ahead does not reflect radio waves effectively, such as
an unloaded trailer or an automobile with a loading platform covered by a soft top,
vehicles with a hard plastic tailgate, and round-shaped vehicles.
ꢀyꢀVehicles ahead with low vehicle height and thus less area for reflecting radio waves.
ꢀyꢀVisibility is reduced due to a vehicle ahead casting off water, snow, or sand from its
tires and onto your windshield.
ꢀyꢀThe trunk/luggage compartment is loaded with heavy objects or the rear passenger
seats are occupied.
ꢀyꢀIce, snow, or soiling is on the front surface of the front emblem.
ꢀyꢀDuring inclement weather such as rain, snow, or sand storms.
ꢀyꢀWhen driving near facilities or objects emitting strong radio waves.
ꢀyꢀIn the following cases, the radar sensor may detect vehicles in the opposite lane or
surrounding obstructions, or it may not be able to detect vehicles ahead or obstructions.
ꢀyꢀThe beginning and end of a curve.
ꢀyꢀRoads with continuous curves.
ꢀyꢀNarrow lane roads due to road construction or lane closures.
ꢀyꢀThe vehicle ahead enters the radar sensor's blind spot.
ꢀyꢀThe vehicle ahead is running abnormally due to accident or vehicle damage.
ꢀyꢀRoads with repeated up and down slopes
ꢀyꢀDriving on poor roads or unpaved roads.
ꢀyꢀThe distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead is extremely short.
ꢀyꢀA vehicle suddenly comes close such as by cutting into the lane.
ꢀyꢀTo prevent incorrect operation of the system, use tires of the same specified size,
manufacturer, brand, and tread pattern on all four wheels. In addition, do not use tires
with significantly different wear patterns or tire pressures on the same vehicle. (Including
the temporary spare tire)
ꢀyꢀIf the battery power is weak, the system may not operate correctly.
ꢀyꢀWhen driving on roads with little traffic and few vehicles ahead or obstructions for the
radar sensor to detect, Forward Obstruction Warning/Smart City Brake Support (FOW/
SCBS) warning light (amber) temporarily illuminates, however, this does not indicate a
problem.
