When your vehicle stops due to emergency braking, a warning message will appear on the instrument cluster.

You should depress the brake pedal immediately and check your surroundings.

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

  • During emergency braking, braking control by Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist will automatically cancel when the driver excessively depresses the brake pedal.

WARNING
