Aiways U5 2021 - Door Opening Warning (DOW)

PATH: Vehicle control - Advanced driving assist - Blind Spot Detection (BSD)
WARNING:
●
The LCA function is a driver assistance function and cannot replace direct visual observation.
Even if the LCA function is equipped, the driver must still concentrate, drive carefully and always
observe the road conditions to avoid accidents. Drivers shall not rely solely on the LCA function to
remind themselves that there are objects or vehicles approaching quickly at the side and rear. Many
external factors can reduce the performance of LCA.
●
Before changing lanes, be sure to observe through the rearview mirror and proper turning of head to
check whether the vehicle can safely change lanes. The performance of LCA is affected by several
factors, which may lead to missing alarms or giving false alarms.
●
When the gear of the vehicle is switched to reverse gear, parking gear or the vehicle speed is lower than
15km/h, the LCA function will be automatically turned off.
The following conditions may cause radar recognition difficulties and affect the performance of LCA,
including but not limited to:
●
The radar being disconnected, shielded or covered with soil, ice, snow, metal plates, adhesive tapes,
labels or leaves;
●
Radar or surrounding areas are impacted due to vehicle collision or scratching;
●
Rain, snow, fog, haze and other extreme weather conditions may affect radar performance;
●
Due to the limitation of radar recognition target characteristics, under rare circumstances false alarms
may be generated by some metal fences, plants or and concrete walls.
●
LCA will not recognize pedestriants, cyclists and animals.
Door opening warning (DOW)
The DOW function mainly monitors an area 80 meters long and 0.5 meters wide behind both sides of the
vehicle. When the vehicle stops and the door is opened, the blind spot monitoring radar detects fast
passing targets behind the vehicle, and can send an alarm to passengers opening the door to prevent
collision due to an approaching vehicle that cannot be observed in the visual blind spot.
