Limitation of the System

This system monitors the driving situations through the radar and the camera. Thus, for a situation out of the sensing range, the system may not normally operate.

The System may be limited when :

• The radar sensor or camera is blocked with a foreign object or debris.
• The camera lens is contaminated due to tinted filmed or coated windshield, damaged glass, or stuck of foreign matter (sticker, bug, etc.) on the glass.
• Inclement weather such as heavy rain or snow obscures the field of view of the radar sensor or camera.
• The target in front is too small to be detected
• The vehicle in front is an oversize vehicle or trailer that is too big to be detected by the camera recognition system (for example a tractor trailer, etc.).
• The camera's field of view is not well illuminated (either too dark or too much reflection or too much backlight that obscures the field of view)
• The vehicle in front does not have their rear lights ON or their rear lights are located in an unsual location (modified).
• The windshield glass is fogged up and the clear view of the road has been obstructed.
• The camera or radar is damaged.
