< What is 'Start Alarm'? >
'Start Alarm' is a function that alerts a driver 'time to drive' with a sound, "Honk Honk".
Smart Alarm senses movements of other cars ahead.
Start Alarm is activated when a driver's vehicle does not move even though other cars around left
2~3 seconds ago already, for example at a traffic light.
Smart Alarm starts sensing cars ahead approximitely a couple of seconds later from the moment
when driver's vehicle stopped at a traffic light, for example.
Smart Alarm stops sensing other cars ahead when driver's vehicle starts moving, or if it was
activated once already. Smart Alram resumes when driver's vehicle stops at a next traffic light.
'Start Alarm' is not activated when AW1 is under Parking Recording Mode, or AW1 is connected
by Wi-Fi.
The performance of 'Start Alarm' might not be good as usual during the night time or under dark
shadowy environments.
The performance of 'Start Alarm' may vary depends on the direction which AW1 sees, other
movements on the road or the brightness of surroundings.
'Start Alarm' is just an aid for driving. Please keep in mind that cautious driving is the best way
for safety.
