System warning and control

Rear Cross-Traffic Safety will warn and control the vehicle depending on collision level: 'Collision warning', 'Emergency braking' and 'Stopping vehicle and ending brake control'.

Collision warning

  • To warn the driver of an approaching vehicle from the rear left/right side of your vehicle, the warning light on the outside rearview mirror will blink and a warning will appear on the cluster. At the same time, an audible warning will sound and the steering wheel will vibrate. If the Rear View Monitor is operating, a warning will also appear on the infotainment system screen. (if equipped)

  • The system will operate when the following conditions are satisfied:

    • Your vehicle gear is shifted to R (Reverse)

    • Your vehicle speed is below 8 km/h (5 mph)

    • The approaching vehicle is within approximately 25 m from the left and right side of your vehicle

    • The speed of the vehicle approaching from the left and right is above 5 km/h (3 mph)

Notice

If the operating conditions are satisfied, there will be a warning whenever the vehicle approaches from the left or right side even though your vehicle speed is 0 km/h (0 mph).

Emergency Braking

  • Your vehicle, the warning light on the outside rearview mirror will blink and a warning message will appear on the cluster. At the same time, an audible warning will sound and the steering wheel will vibrate. If the Rear View Monitor is operating, a warning will also appear on the infotainment system screen.

  • The system will operate when the following conditions are satisfied:

    • Your vehicle gear is shifted to R (Reverse)

    • Your vehicle speed is below 8 km/h (5 mph)

    • The approaching vehicle is within approximately 1.5 m from the left and right side of your vehicle

    • The speed of the vehicle approaching from the left and right is above 5 km/h (3 mph)

    • Emergency braking will be assisted to help prevent collision with approaching vehicles from the left and right.

Warning

Brake control will end when:

  • The approaching vehicle is out of the detecting range

  • The approaching vehicle passes behind your vehicle

  • The approaching vehicle does not drive toward your vehicle

  • The approaching vehicle speed slows down

  • The driver depresses the brake pedal with sufficient power

Stopping vehicle and ending brake control

  • When the vehicle is stopped due to emergency braking, the 'Drive carefully' warning message will appear on the cluster.

  • For your safety, the driver should depress the brake pedal immediately and check the surroundings.

  • Brake control will end after the vehicle is stopped by emergency braking for approximately 2 seconds.

  • During emergency braking, braking control by the system will automatically cancel when the driver excessively depresses the brake pedal.

Warning
  • For your safety, change the Settings after parking the vehicle at a safe location.

  • If any other system's warning message is displayed or audible warning is generated, Rear Cross-Traffic Safety system's warning message may not be displayed and audible warning may not be generated.

  • You may not hear the warning sound of Rear Cross-Traffic Safety system if the surrounding is noisy.

  • Rear Cross-Traffic Safety system may not operate if the driver applies the brake pedal to avoid collision.

  • During Rear Cross-Traffic Safety system operation, the vehicle may stop suddenly injuring passengers and shifting loose objects. Always have the seat belt on and keep loose objects secured.

  • Even if there is a problem with Rear Cross-Traffic Safety system, the vehicle's basic braking performance will operate normally.

  • During emergency braking, braking control by the system will automatically cancel when the driver excessively depresses the accelerator pedal.

  • Rear Cross-Traffic Safety system does not operate in all situations or cannot avoid all collisions.

  • Blind-Spot Safety system may warn the driver late or may not warn the driver depending on the road and driving conditions.

  • The driver should hold the responsibility to control the vehicle. Do not solely depend on Rear Cross-Traffic Safety system. Rather, maintain a safe braking distance, and if necessary, depress the brake pedal to reduce driving speed or to stop the vehicle.

  • Never deliberately operate Rear Cross-Traffic Safety system on people, animal, objects, etc. It may cause serious injury or death.

Caution
  • 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

Notice
  • The driver must immediately depress the brake pedal and check vehicle surroundings.

  • Brake control will end when the driver depresses the brake pedal with sufficient power.

  • After shifting the gear to R (Reverse), braking control will operate once for left and right vehicle approach.
