Subaru Forester: BSD/RCTA (if equipped) / Handling of radar sensors

- Sensors
The radar sensors, one on each side of the
vehicle, are mounted inside the rear
bumper.
To ensure correct operation of the BSD/RCTA, observe the following
precautions.
- Always keep the bumper surface near
the radar sensors clean.
- Do not affix any stickers or other items
on the bumper surface near the radar
sensors.
- Do not modify the bumper near the
radar sensors.
- Do not paint the bumper near the radar
sensors.
- Do not expose the bumper near the
radar sensors to strong impacts. If a sensor becomes misaligned, a system
malfunction may occur, including the inability
to detect vehicles entering the
detection areas. If any strong shock is
applied to the bumper, be sure to contact
your SUBARU dealer for inspection.
- Do not disassemble the radar sensors.
NOTE
If the radar sensors require repair or
replacement, or the bumper area
around the radar sensors requires
repair, paintwork or replacement, contact
your SUBARU dealer for assistance.
