Operation Manual

The IBA system uses a distance sensor
䊊
A
located below the front bumper to measure the
distance to the vehicle ahead. When the system
judges that your vehicle is getting close to the
vehicle ahead in the traveling lane, the vehicle
ahead detection indicator light on the instru-
ment panel blinks and a warning chime sounds.
The IBA system will be turned on/off by pushing
the IBA OFF switch. The IBA OFF indicator light
display will illuminate when the system is
turned off.
PRECAUTIONS ON IBA SYSTEM
WARNING
● The IBA system is not a collision avoidance
system. It is the driver’s responsibility to
stay alert, drive safely and be in control of
the vehicle at all times.
● As there is a performance limit, the system
may not provide a warning or braking in cer-
tain conditions.
● The system will not detect the following
objects:
– Pedestrians, animals or obstacles in the
roadway
– Oncoming vehicles in the same lane
● The system will not detect another vehicle
under the following conditions:
– When the sensor gets dirty and it is im-
possible to detect the distance from the
vehicle ahead.
– When driving into a strong light (i.e.,
sunlight)
● The sensor generally detects the signals re-
turned from the reflectors on a vehicle
ahead. Therefore, the system may not func-
tion properly under the following conditions:
– When the reflectors of the vehicle ahead
are positioned high or close to each other
(including a small vehicle such as
motorcycles).
– When the sensor gets dirty and it is im-
possible to detect the distance from the
vehicle ahead.
– When the reflectors on the vehicle ahead
are missing, damaged or covered.
– When the reflectors of the vehicle ahead
are covered with dirt, snow or road spray.
– When visibility is low (such as rain, fog,
snow, etc.).
– When snow or road spray from traveling
vehicles is splashed.
