Sensors
The radar sensors, one on each side of the
vehicle, are mounted inside the rear
bumper.
To ensure correct operation of the BSD/RCTA, observe the following
precautions.
Always keep the bumper surface near
the radar sensors clean.
Do not affix any stickers or other items
on the bumper surface near the radar
sensors...
Promptly wipe the alloy wheels clean of
any kind of grime or agent. If dirt is left on
too long, it may be difficult to clean off.
Do not use soap containing grit to clean
the wheels. Be sure to use a neutral
cleaning agent, and later rinse thoroughly
with water...
