BLIND SPOT MONITORING (BSM) SYSTEM CANNOT DETECT VEHICLE [BLIND SPOT MONITORING (BSM) SYSTEM]

• The vehicle detection performance of the blind spot monitoring (BSM) system has limitations. Under the following conditions, the detection performance may be lowered and the system may not operate normally.

? A part of the rear bumper near the blind spot monitoring (BSM) control module is deformed.

? The blind spot monitoring (BSM) control module installation position is largely deviated.

? Ice, snow or dirt is adhering to a part of the rear bumper near the blind spot monitoring (BSM) control module.

? The vehicle is driven in rain, snow, or fog.

? The temperature near the blind spot monitoring (BSM) control module is excessively high such as when climbing an uphill road for a long period on a hot day.

? The battery voltage is low

? The vehicle is driven on a steep road.

? The turning radius is small such as when making a sharp turn or turning at an intersection.

? The height of the driving lane and the adjacent lane are different.

? Right after switching the system conditions from stop to operation by pressing the Blind spot monitoring (BSM) off switch.

• The warning may not be activated or delayed for the following vehicles/pedestrians:

? Vehicles which are traveling at nearly the same speed as the detecting vehicle for long periods

? Vehicles in an adjacent lane where the detecting vehicle is trying to pass

? Vehicles in an excessively wide adjacent lane

? Vehicles changing lanes from a distant lane to an adjacent lane

? Vehicles with low body height such as sports cars, or vehicles with body shapes from which radar may not be reflected such as unloaded trailers

? Small motorbikes or bicycles
