Hyundai Santa Fe (TM): Rear Corner Radar System - Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS)Hyundai Santa Fe (TM): Rear Corner Radar System

Description and operation

Description
Rear Corner Radar is a system that measures the relative speed and distance from the following vehicles by using two electromagnetic wave radar sensors attached to the rear bumper, and detects any vehicle within the blind spot zone and gives off alarm.
System Interface

System Function
•
Blind-Spot Collision Warning (BCW)
Audible warning and signal on the mirror when sensing a vehicle in the blind spot area or when the vehicle is approaching at a high speed.

•
Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist (RCCA)
Warns the driver when it senses a vehicle approaching from the rear outer range while vehicle is in reverse (R) position.
Collision avoidance assistance applies the brakes in the event of a collision risk.

•
BCA(Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist) : When the lane departure, BCA generates avoidance for another vehicle within the blind spot zone.

•
SEA (Safe Exit Assist) : When getting off the vehicle, SEA generates alarm to alert another vehicle approaching from the rear.

â‘£ The entire body of the target vehicle passes the line E and Hysteresis Out.
⑤ In the all above condition, TTC(Time to Collision) is more than 4.5 sec.

5.
Sensor activation conditions
â‘  BCW & LCA switch (indicated by the switch LED) is on.
â‘¡ Vehicle Speed: 30 km/h or faster
â‘¢ Curvature radius: 100m or more
â‘£ Relative car speed: -10 - 255km/h
("-" means overtaking the preceding vehicle)
6.
Sensor deactivation conditions
â‘  BCW & LCA switch (indicated by the switch LED) is off.
â‘¡ Vehicle Speed: 27 km/h or slower
â‘¢ Curvature radius: 70m or less
â‘£ Relative car speed: All except -10 - 255km/h
("-" means overtaking the preceding vehicle)
7.
System control prohibition
â‘  The radar is covered by debris: System conditions - Blockage message is outputted
  
If the sensor on the rear bumper is contaminated by snow, mud or stickers, its detecting performance may be lowered.
â‘¡ The radar installation is damaged by an outside shock: Send the error code
â‘¢ BCW & LCA system fails: Send the error code
â‘£ The radar is overheated: System conditions - Over Temperature message is outputted.

Vehicle basis

â‘  Generates warning in case of collision risk with the vehicle approaching from left and right side of your vehicle while reversing out of the parking space.
â‘¡ Based on the Time To Collision (TTC), the warning is generated for the vehicle that is possible to collide within 3.5 seconds.
  
•
"Time To Collision (TTC): Time calculated using the relative distance/speed which is the time until the possible collision. (TTC is subject to change depending on the relative speed of the approaching vehicle)."

Troubleshooting

Diagnosis with Diagnostic tool
1.
In the body electrical system, failure can be quickly diagnosed by using the vehicle diagnostic system (Diagnostic tool).
The diagnostic system (Diagnostic tool) provides the following information.
(1)
Fault Code Searching : Checking failure and code number (DTC)
(2)
Data Analysis : Checking the system input/output data state
(3)
Actuation test : Checking the system operation condition
(4)
S/W Management : Controlling other features including system option setting and zero point adjustment
2.
Connect the cable of Diagnostic tool to the data link connector in driver side crash pad lower panel, and turn on the Diagnostic tool.
3.
If diagnose the vehicle by Diagnostic tool, select "DTC Analysis" and "Vehicle".

4.
If check current status, select the "Data Analysis" .

5.
Select "BCW", if you want to check current data of BCW system.

6.
If you want to check each module operation forcefully, select "Actuation test".
