Vehicle ahead detection indicator light

The IBA system uses a distance sensor *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 instrument 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 drivers responsibility to stay alert, drive safely and be in control of the vehicle at all times.

.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 impossible to detect the distance from the vehicle ahead.

When driving into a strong light (i.e., sunlight)

When the sensor gets dirty and it is impossible to detect the distance from the vehicle ahead.

When the reflectors on the vehicle ahead are missing, damaged or cov- ered.
