Precautions For Blind Spot Intervention
- Do not use the Blind Spot Intervention system under the following conditions because the system may not function properly.
- During bad weather (e.g. rain, fog, snow, wind, 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 lane.
- When driving on roads where the lane width is too narrow.
- When driving with a tire that is not within normal tire conditions (e.g. 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.
- 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; nonstandard 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 is traveling direction does not align with the lane markers.
- When traveling close to the vehicle in front of driver, which obstructs the lane camera unit detection range.
- When rain, snow or dirt collects on 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.)
- The Blind Spot Intervention system will not operate if your vehicle is on a lane marker when another vehicle enters the detection zone. In this case only the BSW system operates.
- Blind Spot Intervention braking will not operate or will stop operating and only a warning chime will sound under the following conditions.
- When the brake pedal is depressed.
- When the accelerator pedal is depressed while brake control assist is provided.
- When steering quickly.
- When the ICC, DCA, FCW or IBA warnings sound.
- When the hazard warning flashers are operated.
- When driving on a curve at a high speed.
