Under what circumstances does the front radar work?
2 Answers
Front radar working conditions are as follows: 1. When an obstacle is detected in the front radar detection zone, the instrument panel will immediately display the radar status interface indicating the obstacle position and alert you with an alarm sound. 2. When the obstacle leaves the front radar probe detection zone for 4 seconds, the combination instrument will switch from the radar status interface back to the trip computer interface. 3. When you start driving the vehicle and the speed is below approximately 12km/h, the front radar remains active. When the speed exceeds 12km/h, the front radar stops working. 4. After the front radar stops working, if the speed drops back below 12km/h, the front radar will remain in the off state. To reactivate the front radar at this time, you need to shift the gear from D to P or R, and then back to D, after which the front radar will turn on again. Differences between front radar and rear radar: 1. Front radar: The front radar probe is installed on the front bumper, radiating at approximately a 45-degree angle to search for targets in all directions. Its greatest advantage is the ability to detect obstacles below the bumper that are difficult for the driver to see from inside the car, such as flower beds or playing children, and provide an alarm. 2. Rear radar: Also called the reversing radar, the probe is installed on the rear bumper. When the gear lever is shifted into reverse, the reversing radar automatically starts working. When the probe detects an object behind the vehicle, the buzzer emits a warning. As the vehicle continues to reverse, the frequency of the alarm sound gradually increases, eventually becoming a continuous tone.
When I drive myself, the front radar mainly activates and works in certain driving scenarios. For example, during low-speed driving, such as in urban traffic congestion or near pedestrian-dense areas, it will activate to detect obstacles ahead and provide audible or visual alerts. This system is even more useful in rainy or foggy weather when visibility is reduced. Additionally, when parking, especially when moving the vehicle forward into a parking space, the radar automatically scans the area a few meters in front of the car to prevent collisions with walls or curbs. If adaptive cruise control is enabled, it also works continuously to maintain a safe following distance. In short, it's best to turn it on when encountering complex driving situations to avoid minor scrapes and ensure smooth driving.
