PRECAUTIONS ON IBA SYSTEM
WARNING
●
The IBA system is not a collision avoid-
ance system. It is the driver’s responsi-
bility to stay alert, drive safely and be in
control of the vehicle at all times.
●
As there is a performance limit, the sys-
tem may not provide a warning or brak-
ing in certain conditions.
●
The system will not detect the following
objects:
– Pedestrians, animals or obstacles in
the roadway
– Oncoming vehicles in the same lane
●
The sensor generally detects the sig-
nals returned from the vehicle ahead.
Therefore, the system may not function
properly
under
the
following
conditions:
– When the sensor area of the front
bumper gets dirty and it is impos-
sible to detect the distance from the
vehicle ahead.
– When radar signal is temporarily
interrupted.
– When visibility is low (such as rain,
fog, snow, etc.).
– When snow or road spray from trav-
eling vehicles is splashed.
– When excessively heavy baggage is
loaded in the rear seat or the luggage
room of your vehicle.
– When
abruptly
accelerating
or
decelerating.
– On a steep downhill slope or on
roads with sharp curves.
– When there is a highly reflective ob-
ject near the vehicle ahead (for ex-
ample, being very close to another
vehicle, signboard, etc.)
– When you are towing a trailer.
●
Depending on certain road conditions
(curved or beginning of a curve), vehicle
conditions (steering position or vehicle
position), or the preceding vehicle’s
conditions (position in lane, etc.), the
system may not function properly. The
system may detect highly reflective ob-
jects such as signs and other stationary
objects on the road or near the traveling
lane and provide unnecessary warning.
●
The system may not function in offset
conditions.
●
The system may not function when the
distance to the vehicle ahead is ex-
tremely close.
WARNING
●
In extreme conditions, detection of
these objects may cause the system to
function.
●
The system is designed to automati-
cally check the sensor’s functionality. If
the sensor area of the front bumper is
covered with ice, a transparent or trans-
lucent bag, etc., the system may not
detect them. In these instances the sys-
tem may not be able to warn the driver
properly. Be sure to check and clean the
sensor
area
of
the
front
bumper
regularly.
●
Excessive noise will interfere with the
warning chime sound, and the chime
may not be heard.
●
A sudden appearance of a vehicle in
front (for example, it abruptly cuts in)
may not be detected and the system
may not warn the driver soon enough.
