Important Safety Information

The license plate bar’s performance can be affected if installed on a vehicle that has items

obstructing the license plate location (e.g. bike rack, trailer). In addition, the license plate bar

cannot be installed correctly if the license plate is offset or on the far side of the vehicle and not

centered.

This system can be used on any vehicle that has a standard license plate location but can be affected

by metal objects that may block or interfere with the operation of the system.

The following may compromise the effectiveness of the system:

Vehicles with permanent trailers attached.

Vehicles with metal obstructions in front of the license plate, i.e. spare tire mount, rear bike racks

or equipment for disabled persons.

Standard license plates that are mounted on the right or left side of the vehicle.

(Center Installation Required)

Situations that cannot be detected

If a vehicle is passing your vehicle.

Your vehicle is moving slower than the sensing speed threshold setting, such as in slow moving

traffic.

When your vehicle is reversing, the relative speed between your vehicle and objects is less than

5 mph (8 km/h).

If a vehicle is approaching / overtaking your vehicle and the relative speed between your vehicle

and the overtaking vehicle is greater than 50 mph (80 km/h). For example, if you are traveling at

55 mph (88 km/h), the system cannot detect vehicles approaching from behind if their speed

exceeds 105 mph (169 km/h).

Situations that may affect system detection accuracy

Metal objects are in the direct path of the sensing signal.

Weather such as heavy rain and snow, and icy road conditions, which can cause changes in

sensitivity.

Gravel roads, which may cause interference due to dust and flying stones.

CAUTION

・Special vehicle conditions that should be considered

During system startup and initialization, it may take up to 2 minutes for the system to establish a GPS

connection. If the vehicle is driven before a GPS connection is established or if the GPS connection is

interrupted (inside a tunnel, parking structure, etc.), the system may not function properly, producing

incorrect or false warnings or failing to produce a warning. Once the GPS connection is established

or re-established, both LED indicators will flash twice to indicate the system is ready for use.

When the system is on and functioning, the system is designed to detect the following events:

1. Blind spots while driving: Objects in the blind spot areas around your vehicle - in the lanes on the

left/right and directly behind the vehicle at a distance of up to 50 ft (approximately 15.2 m).

2. Blind spots while being passed / overtaken: When vehicles are approaching / overtaking your vehicle

from behind.

3. Cross-Traffic Detection: When your vehicle is reversing, vehicles approaching from your left and

right.

Alert Conditions

CAUTION

The SDA-BS100 only detects objects approaching your vehicle from behind. It does not detect objects

your vehicle is approaching or overtaking. Under certain driving scenarios, the SDA-BS100 may detect

objects in an unintended way. The following conditions below are examples of scenarios where fault

notifications may occur.

System Indicators

A. When the system is turned on each time (your vehicle ignition or ACC is switched on), both LED

indicators will flash once to indicate system start up and initialization. Once a GPS connection is

established, which may take up to 2 minutes, both LED indicators will flash twice to indicate the

system is ready for use. The GPS connection is used to calculate your vehicle's speed.

The system features a sensing speed threshold that is set when the system is installed. When your

vehicle is traveling slower than this threshold setting, the system will not produce warnings.

Threshold 1: System warns at any speed above 5 mph (8 km/h)

Threshold 2: System warns at any speed above 10 mph (16 km/h)

Threshold 3: System warns at any speed above 15 mph (24 km/h)

Threshold 4*: System warns at any speed above 20 mph (32 km/h)

*The factory default sensing speed threshold is Threshold 4.

1. The Right LED indicator will illuminate and remain illuminated when there is an object or vehicle

approaching.

2. If your vehicle's right turn signal is activated when there is an object or vehicle approaching, the

Right LED indicator will flash repeatedly and the included speaker will beep (bi-bi-bi) one time.

1. The Left LED indicator will illuminate and remain illuminated when there is an object or vehicle

approaching.

2. If your vehicle's left turn signal is activated when there is an object or vehicle approaching, the

Left LED indicator will flash repeatedly and the included speaker will beep (bi-bi-bi) one time.
