Ummm...Low Altitude I believe it means what it says. At a certain altitude it will come on (not sure what alt). This is your plane telling you that you are flying too close to the ground for its liking or some sort of warning that you are about to hit the ground in case you weren't paying attention. I also find it helpful when doing landings with very bad visiblity.
Hope this answers your question ,

OK, I think I made mistake and read attitude as altitude. I don't really know for sure how the system works. I agree that it is probably not a radar function. It might be a combination of the readings from the climb gauge and the altimeter. Ie. your altitude is x and your heading down at x ft/min, so you are in danger of hiting the ground. This is just a guess, I don't really know how it works, you might try asking SD_Research for a better answer.
