When Driving
i-ACTIVSENSE
NOTE
It might be impossible or diffi cult for the radar sensors (rear) to detect the following:
Small, two-wheeled vehicles, bicycles, pedestrians, and stationary objects on or at
the edge of the road.
Vehicles with body shapes off of which radar may not refl ect such as unloaded
trailers with a low vehicle height and sports cars.
A vehicle is in the detection area in an adjacent lane to the rear but it is not
approaching. The system makes determinations based on the radar detection data
from approaching vehicles.
Another vehicle is travelling at the same speed alongside the vehicle for extended
periods.
Vehicles approaching from the opposite direction.
Another vehicle which your vehicle is attempting to pass is in an adjacent lane.
A vehicle is in an adjacent lane which is extremely wide. The radar sensors (rear)
detection area is set according to the lane width of general freeways.
In the following cases, the RVM warning indicator light and the warning chime may
not activate or they may be delayed:
Another vehicle moves from a lane two lanes over to the adjacent lane.
When driving on a steep incline.
When going over a mountain pass.
When the turning radius is small (cornering around sharp curves, roundabouts, or
intersections).
There is a difference in height between vehicle lanes.
Immediately after this system is turned on.
If the lane width is extremely narrow, a vehicle in an adjacent lane two lanes over may
be detected. The radar sensors (rear) detection area is set according to the lane width of
general freeways.
