7.15.4. BSW/Intelligent Blind Spot Intervention system precautions

image
  • The radar sensors may not be able to detect and activate BSW/Intelligent Blind Spot Intervention when certain objects are present such as:

    • Pedestrians, bicycles, animals.

    • Vehicles such as motorcycles, low height vehicles, or high ground clearance vehicles.

    • Oncoming vehicles.

    • Vehicles remaining in the detection zone when you accelerate from a stop.

    • A vehicle merging into an adjacent lane at a speed approximately the same as your vehicle.

    • A vehicle approaching rapidly from behind.

    • A vehicle which your vehicle overtakes rapidly.

    • See

      for the situations in which the radar sensors may not be able to detect vehicle(s).
  • The BSW and Intelligent Blind Spot Intervention systems may not provide a warning or brake control for vehicles that pass the detection zone quickly.

  • 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.

  • Severe weather or road spray conditions may reduce the ability of the radar to detect other vehicles.

  • The camera may not detect lane markers in the following situations and the Blind Spot Intervention 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 travelling lane merges or separates.

    • When the vehicle’s travelling direction does not align with the lane markers.

    • When travelling close to the vehicle in front of you, which obstructs the lane camera unit detection range.

    • When rain, snow or dirt adheres to the windscreen 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. (For example: light directly shines on the front of the vehicle at sunrise or sunset.)

    • When a sudden change in brightness occurs. (For example: when the vehicle enters or exits a tunnel or under a bridge.)

  • Do not use the Intelligent Blind Spot Intervention system under the following conditions because the system may not function properly.

    • During bad weather (For example: rain, fog, snow, etc.)

    • When driving on slippery roads, such as on ice or snow, etc.

    • When driving on winding or uneven roads.

    • When there is a lane closure due to road repairs.

    • When driving in a makeshift or temporary lane.

    • When driving on roads where the lane width is too narrow.

    • When driving with a tire that is not within normal tyre conditions (for example, tyre wear, low tyre pressure, installation of spare tyre, tyre 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.
