Description And Operation: Description

To correctly sense vehicles on the neighboring lanes using the radar, the direction of the sensor and the direction of the vehicle must be aligned.

This is the BSD unit alignment. If this alignment is not performed as in illustration below, it may cause degradation of detection performance and false alarms.

In particular, vehicles with damaged rear bumper from accident and vehicles that replaced BSD unit must carry out this alignment procedure.
