It's not really clear how it works. X_X;; *SPOILERS* Here's the wiki It looks like a mix between empaths and seeing auras. He can turn it on and off at will. I doubt it's a sending-out-waves rader thing; more like a receptive-to-nearby-energy thing.
But since Accel can move real fast in that mode, it's almost moot. Hey look, blurs! Altair would be more likely to use it while scoping shit out rather than during fighting, since he has to stand still to activate it. He usually does it when he first meets people and doesn't trust them, or needs to collab with strangers in some way, and needs to know they won't stab him in the back.
