such as a bumper sticker, a bumper guard, a bike rack, etc.
- The rear bumper is damaged, or the sensor is out of the original default
position.
- The vehicle height gets lower or higher due to heavy loading in a liftgate,
abnormal tire pressure, etc.
- When the temperature of the rear bumper is high.
- When the sensors are blocked by other vehicles, walls or parking-lot pillars.
- The vehicle is driven on a curved road.
- The vehicle is driven through a tollgate.
- The road pavement (or the peripheral ground) abnormally contains metallic
components (i.e. possibly due to subway construction).
- There is a fixed object near the vehicle, such as a guardrail.
- While going down or up a steep road where the height of the lane is different.
- Driving on a narrow road where trees or grass or overgrown.
- Driving in rural areas where the sensor does not detect another vehicle
or structure for an extended period of time.
- Driving on a wet road.
- Driving on a road where the guardrail or wall is in double structure.
- A big vehicle is near such as a bus or truck.
- When the other vehicle approaches very close.
- When the other vehicle passes at a very fast speed.
- While changing lanes.
- If the vehicle has started at the same time as the vehicle next to you and
has accelerated.
- When the vehicle in the next lane moves two lanes away from you OR when
the vehicle two lanes away moves to the next lane from you.
- A motorcycle or bicycle is near.

the system may not detect the vehicle in the next lane.
Also, in certain instances the system may wrongly recognize the ground or structures.
Always pay attention to road and driving conditions, while driving.
• Driving where the heights of the lanes are different
The system may not operate properly when driving where the heights of the lanes
are different.
In certain instances, the system may not detect the vehicle on a road with different
lane heights (i.e. underpass joining section, grade separated intersections, etc.).
Always pay attention to road and driving conditions, while driving.
[A] : noise barrier, [B] : guardrail
• Driving where there is a structure beside the road
The system may not operate properly when driving where there is structure beside
the road.
In certain instances, the system may wrongly recognize the structures (i.e. noise
barriers, guardrail, double guardrail, median strip, bollard, street light, road

In certain low-speed collisions the air bags may not deploy. The air bags are
designed not to deploy in such cases because they may not provide benefits beyond
the protection of the seat belts.
Front air bags are not designed to inflate in rear collisions, because occupants
are moved backward by the force of the impact...
