● The BSM function may not detect vehi-
cles correctly in the following situations:
• When the sensor is misaligned due to a
strong impact to the sensor or its sur-
rounding area
• When mud, snow, ice, a sticker, etc. is
covering the sensor or surrounding area
on the rear bumper
• When driving on a road surface that is
wet with standing water during bad
weather, such as heavy rain, snow, or fog
• When multiple vehicles are approaching
with only a small gap between each vehi-
cle
• When the distance between your vehicle
and a following vehicle is short
• When there is a significant difference in
speed between your vehicle and the vehi-
cle that enters the detection area
• When the difference in speed between
your vehicle and another vehicle is
changing
• When a vehicle enters a detection area
traveling at about the same speed as your
vehicle
• As your vehicle starts from a stop, a vehi-
cle remains in the detection area
• When driving up and down consecutive
steep inclines, such as hills, dips in the
road, etc.
• When driving on roads with sharp bends,
consecutive curves, or uneven surfaces

driving on the edge of a lane, and the
vehicle in an adjacent lane is far away

rear of the vehicle
• When there is a significant difference in
height between your vehicle and the
vehicle that enters the detection area
• Immediately after the BSM function is

sarily detecting a vehicle and/or object
may increase in the following situations:
• When the sensor is misaligned due to a
strong impact to the sensor or its sur-
rounding area
• When the distance between your vehicle
and a guardrail, wall, etc. that enters the
detection area is short
• When driving up and down consecutive
steep inclines, such as hills, dips in the
road, etc.
• When vehicle lanes are narrow, or when
driving on the edge of a lane, and a vehi-
cle traveling in a lane other than the adja-
cent lanes enters the detection area
• When driving on roads with sharp bends,
consecutive curves, or uneven surfaces
