Reverse Parking Collision- Avoidance Assist Operation

Operating conditions

If 'Rear Active Assist' or 'Rear Warning Only' is set from the Settings menu, Reverse Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist will be in the ready status when the following conditions are satisfied:

  • The trunk is closed

  • The gear is shifted to R (Reverse)

  • Vehicle speed is below 6 mph (10 km/h)

  • Function components such as the rear view camera and the rear ultrasonic sensors are in normal conditions

The solid lines behind the vehicle in the cluster LCD display indicates that the function is ready to assist the driver.

Note that the function assists the driver only once.

The driver has to shift the gear to R (Reverse) from another gear position to reactivate the function.

Rear Active Assist

  • If the function detects a risk of collision with a pedestrian or an object, the function will warn the driver with an audible warning, steering wheel vibration and warning message on the cluster. When Rear View Monitor is operating, a warning will appear on the infotainment system screen.

  • If the function detects imminent collision with a pedestrian or an object behind the vehicle, the function may assist you with braking. The driver needs to pay attention as the brake assist will end within 2 seconds. The driver must immediately depress the brake pedal and check vehicle surroundings.

  • Brake control will end when:

    • The gear is shifted to P (Park) or D (Drive).

    • The driver depresses the brake pedal with sufficient power

    • Braking assist last for approximately 2 seconds

  • The warning will turn off when:

    • The driver shifts the gear to P (Park), N (Neutral), or D (Drive)

  • The brake control may not operate properly depending on the status of ESC (Electronic Stability Control).

    There will only be a warning when:

    • The ESC (Electronic Stability Control) warning light is on

    • ESC (Electronic Stability Control) is engaged in a different function

Rear Warning Only

  • If the function detects a risk of collision with a pedestrian or an object, the function will warn the driver with an audible warning, steering wheel vibration and warning message on the cluster. When Rear View Monitor is operating, a warning will appear on the infotainment system screen.

  • If 'Warning Only' is selected, braking will not be assisted.

  • The warning will turn off when the gear is shifted to P (Park), N (Neutral) or D (Drive).

WARNING

  • Reverse Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist may not operate properly or may operate unnecessarily depending on the road conditions and the surroundings.

  • Always pay extreme caution while driving. The driver is responsible for controlling the brake for safe driving.

  • Always pay attention to road and traffic conditions while driving, whether or not there is a warning.

CAUTION

  • Playing the vehicle audio system at high volume may prevent passengers from hearing Reverse Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist warning sounds.

  • Noise may be heard when sudden braking occurs to avoid a collision.

  • If any other warning sound such as the seat belt warning chime is already generated, Reverse Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist warning may not sound.

  • The performance of Reverse Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist may vary under certain conditions. If vehicle speed is above 2 mph (4 km/h), the function will provide collision avoidance assist only when pedestrians are detected. Always look around and pay attention when backing up your vehicle.

NOTICE

The function can detect a pedestrian or an object when:

  • A pedestrian is standing behind the vehicle

  • A large obstacle, such as a vehicle, is parked in the rear center of your vehicle
