What is the function of the front radar?
2 Answers
The function of the vehicle's front radar is to detect whether there are obstacles in front of the vehicle. Below is an introduction to the working status of the front radar: Obstacle in front: When the car is moving, if there is an obstacle in front of the car and it is detected by the front radar, the radar status will be displayed on the dashboard, along with the position of the obstacle. Speed not exceeding 12km/h: When the car is moving, if the speed does not exceed 12km per hour, the front radar will remain in working status.
As a frequent driver, I've heard countless stories about how front radars play a crucial role in critical moments. Simply put, the front radar is that hidden small sensor at the front of the car, capable of detecting the distance to vehicles, pedestrians, or obstacles ahead, helping the collision avoidance system issue early warnings or automatically brake to prevent rear-end collisions. Especially in heavy fog or rain when visibility is poor, it acts like an extra pair of eyes for safer driving. Some high-end vehicles even integrate it with adaptive cruise control to automatically adjust speed, making highway driving more effortless. However, it relies on radar signals, so if covered in mud or obstructed, its effectiveness may be reduced. During routine maintenance, remember to regularly clean the radar sensor—this small effort can significantly enhance driving safety. In busy urban areas or while parking, the front radar's beeping alerts are incredibly useful, helping you easily avoid low-lying objects.
