Subaru Crosstrek Owners Manual: System operation
Operating conditions
The BSD/RCTA will operate when all of
the following conditions are met.
- The ignition switch is in the "ON"
position.
- The BSD/RCTA warning indicator and
BSD/RCTA OFF indicator are turned off.
- The vehicle is driven at speeds above
6 mph (10 km/h) (except when reversing).
- The shift lever/select lever is in the "R"
position (RCTA only).
The BSD/RCTA will not operate in the
following situations.
- The BSD/RCTA OFF indicator is on.
- The vehicle speed is below 6 mph (10
km/h) even when the BSD/RCTA OFF
indicator remains off (except when reversing).
NOTE
When a malfunction occurs in the
system (including the BSD/RCTA approach
indicator light), the BSD/RCTA
will stop operating and the BSD/RCTA
warning indicator will appear.
If the BSD/RCTA warning indicator
appears, exercise proper caution. For
details, refer to "BSD/RCTA warning
indicator" F7-54.
In the following cases, the BSD/
RCTA will temporarily stop operating
(or may stop operating) and the BSD/
RCTA warning indicator will appear.
- When the radar sensor becomes
significantly misaligned (If the orientation
of the radar sensor is
shifted for any reason, readjustment
is required. Have the sensor
adjusted at a SUBARU dealer.)
- When a large amount of snow or
ice sticks to the rear bumper surface
around the radar sensors
- When the vehicle is driven on a
snow-covered road or in an environment
in which there are no
objects around (such as in a desert)
for a prolonged period of time
- When the temperature around
the radar sensors increases excessively
due to long driving on uphill
grades in the summer, etc.
- When the temperature around
the radar sensors becomes extremely
low
- When the vehicle battery voltage
lowers
- When the vehicle voltage exceeds
the battery voltage rating
The BSD/RCTA will resume operation
once these conditions are corrected,
and the BSD/RCTA warning indicator
will disappear. However, if the BSD/
RCTA warning indicator appears for a
prolonged period of time, have the
system inspected at a SUBARU dealer
as soon as possible.
The detectability of the radar sensors
is restricted. The BSD/RCTA detection
may be impaired and the system
may not operate properly under the
following conditions.
- When the rear bumper around
the radar sensors is distorted
- When ice, snow or mud adheres
to the rear bumper surface around
the radar sensors
- When stickers, etc. are affixed on
the areas of the radar sensors on
the rear bumper
- During adverse weather conditions
such as rain, snow or fog
- When driving on wet roads such
as snow-covered roads and
through puddles
The radar sensors may not detect or
may have difficulty detecting the following.
- Small motorcycles, bicycles, pedestrians,
stationary objects on the
road or road side, etc.
- Vehicles with body shapes that
the radar may not reflect (vehicles with a low body height such as
sports cars or a trailer with no
cargo)
- Vehicles that are not approaching
your vehicle even though they
are in the detection area (either on a
neighboring lane to the rear or
beside your vehicle when reversing)
(The system determines the
presence of approaching vehicles
based on data detected by the radar
sensors.)
- Vehicles traveling at significantly
different speeds
- Vehicles driving in parallel at
almost the same speed as your
vehicle for a prolonged time
- Oncoming vehicles
- Vehicles in a lane beyond the
neighboring lane
- Vehicles travelling at a significantly
lower speed that you are
trying to overtake
On a road with extremely narrow
lanes, the system may detect vehicles
driving in a lane next to the neighboring
lane.
