Precautions For Intelligent Back-Up Intervention System

Sonar Handling 

• Always keep the sonar sensors clean.
• Do not attach a sticker (including transparent material), install an accessory or paintwork over any of the sonar sensors.
• Do not strike or scratch any of the sonar sensors causing physical damage. to a sensor or the surrounding area

Side Radar Handling 

• Always keep the rear bumper near the side radar clean.
• Do not attach a sticker (including transparent material), install an accessory or paintwork near the side radar.
• Do not strike or damage the areas around the side radar.

Intelligent Back-up Intervention 

• The Intelligent Back-up Intervention system is not a replacement for proper driving procedure and is not designed to prevent contact with vehicles or objects. When backing up. always look in the direction driver will move to ensure it is safe to proceed. Never rely solely on the Intelligent Back-up Intervention system.
• Using the Intelligent Back-up Intervention system under some road or weather condition could lead to improper system operation. Always rely on driver's own steering and braking operation to avoid accidents.
• The Intelligent Back-up Intervention system may not provide a warning or brake control for vehicles that pass through the detection zone quickly.
• The side radar may not be able to detect and activate Intelligent Back-up Intervention when certain objects are present such as:
  • Pedestrians, bicycles or animals.
  • A vehicle passing at a speed greater than approximately 24 km/h (15 MPH).
• A radar sensor may not detect approaching vehicles in certain situations:
  • When the vehicle parked aside obstruct the beam of the radar sensor.
  • When the vehicle is parked in an angled parking space.
  • When the vehicle is parked on an inclined ground.
  • When the vehicle turns around into own vehicle's lane.
  • When the angle formed by your vehicle and approaching vehicle is small.
• Severe weather or road spray conditions may reduce the ability of the radar to detect other vehicles.
• The sonar system may not detect:
  • Small or moving object.
  • Wedge-shaped objects.
  • Object closer to the bumper than 30 cm (10 inch).
  • Thin objects such as rope, wire, chain, etc.
• The brakes engaged by the Intelligent Back-up Intervention system is relatively weaker on a slope than flat ground. On a steep slope, the system may not function properly.
• Do not use the Intelligent Back-up Intervention system under the following conditions because the system may not function properly:
  • When driving with a tire that is not the within normal tire condition (example: tire wear, low tire pressure, installation of spare tire, tire chains, non-standard wheels).
  • When the vehicle is equipped with non-original brake parts or suspension parts.
  • When towing a trailer or other vehicle.
• Excessive noise (for example, audio system volume, open vehicle window) will interfere with the chime sound, and it may not be heard.
