
Do not use the front bumper to push other vehicles or obstructions such as when pulling
out of a parking space. Otherwise, the radar sensor (front) could be hit and its position
deviated.

Do not remove, disassemble, or modify the radar sensor (front).

For repairs, replacement or paint work around the radar sensor (front), consult an

change and the radar sensor (front) may not be able to correctly detect a vehicle ahead or
an obstruction.
NOTE

Under the following conditions, the
radar sensor (front) may not be able to
detect vehicles ahead or obstructions
correctly and each system may not
operate normally.

The 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.

Vehicles ahead with low vehicle
height and thus less area for
reflecting radio waves.

Visibility is reduced due to a vehicle
ahead casting off water, snow, or
sand from its tyres and onto your
windscreen.

The luggage compartment is loaded
with heavy objects or the rear
passenger seats are occupied.

Ice, snow, or soiling is on the front
surface of the front emblem.

During inclement weather such as
rain, snow, or sand storms.

When driving near facilities or
objects emitting strong radio waves.

Under the following conditions, the
radar sensor (front) may not be able to
detect vehicles ahead or obstructions.

The beginning and end of a curve.

Roads with continuous curves.

Narrow lane roads due to road
construction or lane closures.

The vehicle ahead enters the radar
sensor's blind spot.

The vehicle ahead is running
abnormally due to accident or
vehicle damage.

Roads with repeated up and down
slopes

Driving on poor roads or unpaved
roads.

The distance between your vehicle
and the vehicle ahead is extremely
short.

A vehicle suddenly comes close such
as by cutting into the lane.

To prevent incorrect operation of the
system, use tyres of the same specified
size, manufacturer, brand, and tread
pattern on all 4 wheels. In addition, do
not use tyres with significantly different
wear patterns or tyre pressures on the
same vehicle (Including the temporary
spare tyre).

If the battery power is weak, the system
may not operate correctly.
