● The radar sensors detection zone is designed based on a standard lane width. When driving in a wider lane, the radar sensors may not detect vehicles in an adjacent lane. When driving in a narrow lane, the radar sensors may detect vehicles driving two lanes away. ● The radar sensors are designed to ignore most stationary objects, however objects such as guardrails, walls, foliage and parked vehicles may occasionally be detected. This is a normal operating condition. ● The camera may not detect lane markers in the following situations and the BSI system may not operate properly. - On roads where there are multiple parallel lane markers; lane markers that are faded or not painted clearly; yellow painted lane markers; non-standard lane markers; lane markers covered with water, dirt, snow, etc. - On roads where discontinued lane markers are still detectable. - On roads where there are sharp curves. - On roads where there are sharply contrasting objects, such as shadows, snow, water, wheel ruts, seams or lines remaining after road repairs. - On roads where the traveling lane merges or separates. - When the vehicle's traveling direction does not align with the lane markers. - When traveling close to the vehicle in front of you, which obstructs the lane camera unit detection range. - When rain, snow or dirt adheres to the windshield in front of a lane camera unit. - When the headlights are not bright due to dirt on the lens or if aiming is not adjusted properly. - When strong light enters a lane camera unit. (e.g. light directly shines on the front of the vehicle at sunrise or sunset.) - When a sudden change in brightness occurs. (e.g. when the vehicle enters or exits a tunnel or under a bridge.) SSD1026 BSW/BSI DRIVING SITUATIONS Another vehicle approaching from behind The BSW/BSI indicator light illuminates if a vehicle enters the detection zone from behind in an adjacent lane. However, if the overtaking vehicle is traveling much faster than your vehicle, the indicator light may not illuminate before the detected vehicle is beside your vehicle. Always use the side and rear mirrors and turn and look in the direction your vehicle will move to ensure it is safe to change lanes. Starting and driving 5-33
