Side Radar Alignment Completion Condition

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2023 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

When any of the following conditions is met, the side radar alignment is complete.

The specified number of objects (guardrail, tree, etc.) on the roadside is detected during driving.
Vehicle is driven at 50 km/h (31 mph) or more while YAW is 1°/s or less for a total of 5 minutes or more.

NOTE:

The side radar alignment process is reset (back to 0%) when key switch is OFF before completing.
The side radar alignment process stops when the vehicle speed is 0 km/h [0 mph] (vehicle parked) and restarts when the alignment conditions are satisfied.
Timeout occurs, if the side radar alignment conditions are not satisfied for 15 minutes after the side radar alignment is started.
The side radar irradiates radar and performs the alignment by receiving its reflected wave for certain fixed time.
Because of not receiving the reflected wave, the side radar alignment may stop making progress under the following environment.
- When driving on a road with high snow banks on both sides.
- When driving on a road that has no objects to reflect the radar waves, such as a coastline road.
- When driving on the road that sits above the surrounding level surface, such as a road on top of a levee or on top of an earthen dam.
- If the progress percentage displayed on the M.U.T.-III SE does not progress, the completion conditions may not be met.
