The Rear Radar instantly detects any obstruction behind the vehicle and alerts the driver to the potential hazard and its distance.
When paired with an in-cabin monitor and rear camera, the radar displays an overlay of the detection area on the rear camera’s image, and the monitor provides visual and audible alerts, functioning as a highly responsive backup camera.
Understanding Detection
The Radar’s sensor emits electromagnetic energy that creates an area where any object, person, or other obstruction reflects that energy, allowing the sensor to instantly detect the potential hazard. When multiple obstructions are in range, the sensor prioritizes the one closest to the vehicle.
Ease of detection is impacted by key factors such as an obstruction’s size, material, surface area, shape, and angle. Larger, smooth surfaces facing the sensor at a closer distance will be more reliably detected than uneven, small, or distant objects. For example, compare the ease of detecting a nearby truck to that of a small, distant bush.
In its default configuration, the Rear View Radar’s detection zone is 10 m (33 ft) long and 2 m (6.5 ft) wide, divided into five subzones of 2 m (6.5 ft) each. The length of each sub-zone can be independently configured within a maximum detection zone of 40 m (132 ft).
The sensor cannot detect obstructions within 0.25 meters (10 inches). All readings will STOP within that distance; the vehicle CANNOT go any further without risking a collision.
