APPROACH WARNING DISPLAY 

The system warns the driver with a warning buzzer and MI PILOT Assist system display if this vehicle comes closer to the preceding vehicle due to rapid deceleration of that vehicle, or if another vehicle cuts in between. Decelerate by depressing the brake pedal to maintain a safe vehicle distance if:

The warning buzzer may not sound in some cases when there is a short distance between vehicles. Some examples are:

The warning buzzer will not sound when own vehicle approaches vehicles that are parked or moving slowly.

The warning buzzer will not sound when the accelerator pedal is depressed, overriding the MI-PILOT Assist system.

The approach warning buzzer may sound and the system display may blink when the distance sensor detects some reflectors which are fitted on vehicles in other lanes or on the side of the road.

This may cause the MI-PILOT Assist system to decelerate or accelerate the vehicle.

The distance sensor may detect these objects when the vehicle is driven on winding roads, hilly roads or when entering or exiting a curve.

The distance sensor may also detect reflectors on narrow roads or in road construction zones.

In these cases, driver will have to manually control the proper distance ahead of own vehicle.

Also, the sensor sensitivity can be affected by vehicle operation (steering maneuver or driving position in the lane) or traffic or vehicle condition (for example, if a vehicle is being driven with some damage).
