Situations in which the system may not operate properly
Certain vehicle conditions and the surrounding environment may affect the ability of a
sensor to correctly detect objects. Particular instances where this may occur are listed
below.
●
There is dirt, snow, water drops or ice on a sensor. (Cleaning the sensors will resolve
this problem.)
●
A sensor is frozen. (Thawing the area will resolve this problem.) In especially cold
weather, if a sensor is frozen the sensor display may be displayed abnormally, or
objects, such as a wall, may not be detected.
●
On an extremely bumpy road, on an incline, on gravel, or on grass.
●
When vehicle horns, vehicle detectors, motorcycle engines, air brakes of large vehi-
cles, the clearance sonar of other vehicles or other devices which produce ultrasonic
waves are near the vehicle.
●
A sensor is coated with a sheet of spray or heavy rain.
●
If objects draw too close to the sensor.
●
When a pedestrian is wearing clothing that does not reflect ultrasonic waves (ex. skirts
with gathers or frills).
●
When objects that are not perpendicular to the ground, not perpendicular to the vehi-
cle traveling direction, uneven, or waving are in the detection range.
●
Strong wind is blowing.
●
When driving in inclement weather such as fog, snow or a sandstorm.
●
When an object that cannot be detected is between the vehicle and a detected object.
●
If an object such as a vehicle, motorcycle, bicycle or pedestrian cuts in front of the vehi-
cle or runs out from the side of the vehicle.
●
If the orientation of a sensor has been changed due to a collision or other impact.
●
When equipment that may obstruct a sensor is installed, such as a towing eyelet,
bumper protector (an additional trim strip, etc.), bicycle carrier, or snow plow.
●
If the front of the vehicle is raised or lowered due to the carried load.
●
If the vehicle cannot be driven in a stable manner, such as when the vehicle has been in
an accident or is malfunctioning.
●
When tire chains, a compact spare tire or an emergency tire puncture repair kit are
used.
●
When a sensor or the area around a sensor is
extremely hot or cold.
