Safe Exit Assist (SEA)
When the function detects an approaching vehicle, the rear doors will not unlock even if the driver attempts to unlock them using the electronic child safety lock button. The "Check surroundings then try again" warning message appears on the cluster and a warning sounds.
However if you press the switch within 10 seconds after the warning message appears (the indicator on the switch will turn off), the function determines that the driver has intentionally unlocked the doors, being aware of the rear status, and unlocks the doors regardless of the actual rear situation.
When the function detects an approaching vehicle the moment a door is opened, the "Watch for traffic" warning message appears on the cluster and a warning sounds.

The above 2 and 3 functions are activated when you select ‘Driver Assistance→ Blind-Spot Safety → Safe Exit Assist (SEA)' from the User Settings mode in the cluster LCD display.

The Electronic child safety lock system is always on when the ENGINE START/STOP button is in the ON or ignition ON state and for approximately 10 minutes after the engine is turned off.

To deactivate the electronic child safety lock system, press the Electronic child safety lock switch again with the ENGINE START/STOP button in the ON position or after starting the engine.
