PRECAUTIONS FOR INTELLIGENT BRAKE ASSIST
• The IBA system is a not 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, it may not provide a warning or brake in certain 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 under the following conditions:
- When the sensor gets dirty and it is impossible to detect the distance from the vehicle ahead.
- When driving into a strong light (i.e. sunlight)
• The sensor generally detects the signals returned from the reflectors on a vehicle ahead. Therefore, the sys-
tem may not function properly under the following conditions:
- When the reflectors of the vehicle ahead are positioned high or close each other (including a small vehicle
such as motorcycles).
- When the sensor gets dirty or and it is impossible to detect the distance from the vehicle ahead.
- When the reflectors on the vehicle ahead is missing, damaged or covered.
- When the reflector of the vehicle ahead is covered with dirt, snow and road spray.
- When visibility is low (such as rain, fog, snow, etc.).
- When snow or road spray from traveling vehicles are raised up.
- When dense exhaust or other smoke (black smoke) from vehicles reduces the sensor visibility.
- When excessively heavy baggage is loaded in the rear seat or the luggage room of vehicle.
- When abruptly accelerating or decelerating.
- On steep downhill or roads with sharp curves.
- When there is a highly reflective object near the vehicle ahead (i.e. very close to other vehicle, signboard,
etc.).
- While towing a trailer or other vehicle.
• Depending on certain road conditions (curved, beginning of a curve), vehicle conditions (steering position,
vehicle position), or preceding vehicle
′
s conditions (position in lane, etc.), the system may not function prop-
erly.
• The system may not function in offset conditions.
• The system may not function when the distance to the vehicle ahead is extremely close.
• The system detect highly reflective objects such as reflectors,
signs, white markers, and other stationary objects on the road or
near the traveling lane, and when in extreme conditions, detection
of these objects may cause the system to function.
• The system is designed to automatically check the sensor
′
s func-
tionality. If the sensor is covered with ice, a transparent or translu-
cent plastic bag, etc., the system may not detect them. In these
instances the system may not be able to warn properly. Be sure to
check and clean the sensor regularly.
• Excessive noise will interfere with the warning chime sound, and
the chime may not be heard.
• Never step in under the brake pedal to avoid an accident when IBA
system turns ON.
• Sudden appearance of the vehicle in front (i.e. it abruptly cuts in) may not be detected and the system may
not warn soon enough.
• The system will be cancelled automatically with a beep sound and the IBA OFF indicator lamp will illuminate
under the following conditions:
- When the sensor window is dirty
- When the system malfunctions
