The FCA monitors the driving situations
through the radar and the camera sen‐
sor. Thus, for a situation out of the
sensing range, the FCA may not nor‐
mally operate. The driver should pay
great caution in the following situa‐
tions. The FCA operation may be limi‐
ted.
Recognizing vehicles
The sensor may be limited when:
-
The radar sensor or camera is
blocked with a foreign object or deb‐
ris
- The camera lens is contaminated due
to tinted, filmed or coated windshield,
damaged glass, or stuck of foreign
matter (sticker, bug, etc.) on the
glass
- Inclement weather such as heavy rain
or snow obscures the field of view of
the radar sensor or camera
-
There is interference by electromag‐
netic waves
-
There is severe irregular reflection
from the radar sensor
- The radar/camera sensor recognition
is limited
-
The vehicle in front is too small to be
detected (for example a motorcycle
etc.)

hicle or trailer that is too big to be
detected by the camera recognition
system (for example a tractor trailer,
