Detecting Sensor (front view cam-
era/rear corner radars)Front view camera
The front view camera is a sensor
detecting the lane. If the front view
camera is covered by heavy rain,
heavy snow and fog or foreign
objects, dust, the system may tem-
porarily be cancelled and not work
properly until the cancellation due to
the degradation of the sensor's
detection performance. Always keep
the sensor clean.
* Refer “Lane Keeping Assist (LKA)”
for cautions for the front view cam-
era.
Rear corner radars
The rear corner radars are the sen-
sors inside the rear bumper for
detecting the side/rear areas. Always
keep the rear bumper clean for prop-
er operation of the system.

■ Front view camera
■ Rear corner radars
CAUTION
The system may not work
properly when the bumper has
been damaged, or if the rear
bumper has been replaced or
repaired.
The sensing range differs some-
what according to the width of
the road. When the road is nar-
row, the system may detect
other vehicles in the next lane.
On the other hand, when the
road is wide, the system may
not detect vehicles on both
lanes and may not warn.
The system may turn off if
interfered by electromagnetic
waves.
Always keep the sensor or near
the sensor clean.
NEVER arbitrarily disassem-
ble the sensor component nor
apply any impact on the sen-
sor component.

sories or stickers on the front
windshield, nor tint the front
windshield.
(Continued)(Continued)
Pay special attention to keep
the camera sensor out of water.
NEVER locate any reflective
