Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist disabled

When the rear bumper around the rear-side radar or sensor is covered with foreign material, such as snow or rain, or installing a trailer or carrier, it can reduce the detecting performance and temporarily limit or disable Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist.

If this occurs, the warning message will appear on the cluster.

  • Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist may not operate properly if the detection sensor is contaminated or there are no objects around vehicle (such as in an open, unobstructed area), after turning ON the vehicle.
