●
The sensor generally detects the signals re-
turned from the reflectors on a vehicle
ahead. Therefore, the system may not func-
tion properly under the following conditions:
– When the reflectors of the vehicle ahead
are positioned high or close to each other
(including a small vehicle such as
motorcycles).
– When the sensor gets dirty or it is impos-
sible to detect the distance from the ve-
hicle ahead.
– When the reflectors on the vehicle ahead
are missing, damaged or covered.
– When the reflectors of the vehicle ahead
are covered with dirt, snow or road spray.
– When visibility is low (such as rain, fog,
snow, etc.).
– When snow or road spray from traveling
vehicles is splashed.
– When dense exhaust or other smoke
(black smoke) from vehicles reduces the
visibility of the sensor.
– 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 object
near the vehicle ahead (i.e., 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 con-
ditions (steering position or vehicle posi-
tion), or the preceding vehicle’s conditions
(position in lane, etc.), the system may not
function properly. The system may detect
highly reflective objects such as reflectors,
signs, white markers, 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 dis-
tance to the vehicle ahead is extremely
close.
●
The system is designed to automatically
check the sensor’s functionality. If the sen-
sor is covered with ice, a transparent or
translucent plastic bag, etc., the system may
not detect them. In these instances the sys-
tem may not be able to warn the driver prop-
erly. Be sure to check and clean the sensor
regularly.
●
Excessive noise will interfere with the warn-
ing chime sound, and the chime may not be
heard.
●
A sudden appearance of a vehicle in front
(i.e., it abruptly cuts in) may not be detected
and the system may not warn the driver soon
enough.
●
The system will be cancelled automatically
with a beep sound and the IBA OFF indicator
light will illuminate under the following
conditions:
– When the sensor window is dirty
– When the system malfunctions
