Drivers of the vehicle to which the Reverse Smart system is fitted must be made fully aware of how to interpret the system so they will not be distracted by or rely completely on it. Distraction can cause collisions.
Factors Influencing the Detection of Objects The Reverse Smart Radar shares in principle the advantages and limitations of all radar-based systems when compared to other sensing technologies. In general, it can reliably detect most objects in most environmental conditions such as dirt, dust, rain, snow, sun, fog, darkness, acoustic noise, mechanical vibration, electromagnetic noise or similar.
The neck is adjustable in all directions up to 30° and is secured with a locking nut. Locking nut should only be tightened by hand and excessive torque should be avoided. The volume is adjustable from 65 to 90dB measured at 1m distance. REVERSE SMART AEB OPERATING MANUAL Page 9 of 12 July 2017...
