When a collision risk with a pedestrian or object around the vehicle is detected, the system warns with a warning message on the instrument cluster, a warning sound, and steering wheel vibration (if equipped). If Surround View Monitor is operating, a warning also appears on the infotainment system screen. If a collision is imminent, the function automatically applies braking control.

Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist is enabled when the following conditions are satisfied:

  • The doors are closed

  • The Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) is released

  • The gear is shifted to R (Reverse)

  • Your driving speed is below 10 km/h (6 mph) (detecting pedestrians)

  • Your driving speed is below 4 km/h (2 mph) (detecting objects)

  • Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist components such as the rear view camera and the rear ultrasonic sensors are in normal conditions
