The Safe Exit Assist system is provided to help prevent the passengers from opening a door by warning the passengers when an approaching vehicle from the rear area is detected after the vehicle stops.
When an approaching vehicle from the rear area is detected after the vehicle stops, the rear door does not unlock even when the driver tries to unlock the rear door 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 system judges that the driver unlocked the door acknowledging the rear status and released regardless of the rear status.
When an approaching vehicle from the rear is detected the moment the 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 will operate for approximately 10 minutes after the ENGINE START/STOP button is turned to OFF position. After about 10 minutes, the indicator on the switch turns off and you cannot deactivate the Electronic child safety lock system. 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.
When the power is supplied again after removing the battery or battery discharge while the child safety lock is in the lock position, press the child safety lock switch once again to match the state of the indicator on the child safety lock switch and actual status of the Electronic child safety lock system.
If the airbag is activated while the child safety lock switch is ON (the indicator on the switch illuminates) it automatically switches OFF and the rear door is unlocked.
