WARNING
• Always keep the sensor cover sur-
face clean. When it is dirty, wipe it
down with a soft cloth that will not
scratch the cover. Also, when the
following things are covering or
attached to the sensor cover, they
will be detected as dirt and the
radar will either take more time to
detect things or it will not detect
things at all. If this happens, the
system will not function normally
and unexpected accidents may
occur.
– Plastic bags (transparent, semi-
transparent, colored or metal-
coated)
– Rain, snow, etc.
• Observe the following instructions
in order to keep the radar sensor
functioning properly. If mishandled,
the radar sensor cannot accurately
detect a vehicle in front of you, the
system will not function properly
and unexpected accidents may
occur.
– Do not strike the radar sensor
forcefully. If there is a minor
crash and the radar sensor is
damaged or hindered, have it
inspected by an authorized
SUZUKI dealer.
