Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist alert

If the risk of collision is detected while Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning is generated, brake control may be activated. The instrument cluster will inform the driver of the brake control. If the rear view camera is in activation, a message will also appear on the instrument cluster or Infotainment screen.

After brake control is activated, the driver must immediately depress the brake pedal and check the surroundings.

  • The brake activation by the function lasts for about 2 seconds.

    The driver must pay attention as the brake is disengaged after 2 seconds.

  • The brake control by the function is canceled if the driver depresses the brake pedal with sufficient power.

  • Brake control is activated once for each right/left approach after shifting the shift lever to R (Reverse).

The brake control may not operate properly according to the status of the ESC (Electronic Stability Control). The same warning message is displayed on the instrument cluster when:

  • ESC warning light is on.

  • ESC is engaged in a different function.

CAUTION

  • When the operation condition of Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning function is met, the warning will occur every time a vehicle approaches the side or rear of your stopped (0 km/h (0 mph) vehicle speed) vehicle.

  • The function’s warning or brake may not operate properly if the left or right of your vehicle's rear bumper is blocked by a vehicle or obstacle.

  • The driver should always use extreme caution while operating the vehicle, whether or not the warning light on the outer side view mirror illuminates or there is a warning alarm.

  • Playing the vehicle audio system at high volume may prevent occupants from hearing the function’s warning sounds.

  • If any other warning sound, such as seat belt warning chime, is already generated, Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning warning may not sound.

WARNING

  • Drive safely even though the vehicle is equipped with Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning and Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist. Do not solely rely on the function but check your surrounding when backing the vehicle up.

  • The driver is responsible for accurate brake control.

  • Always pay extreme caution while driving. Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning and Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist may not operate properly or unnecessarily operate depending on traffic and driving conditions.

  • Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist is not a substitute for safe driving practices, but a convenience function only. It is the responsibility of the driver to always drive cautiously to prevent unexpected and sudden situations from occurring. Pay attention to the road conditions at all times.
