Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist operation

Warning and control

Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist will warn and control the vehicle depending on collision level

  • Collision Warning

  • Emergency Braking

  • Stopping vehicle and ending brake control

Collision warning

  • To warn the driver of an approaching vehicle from the rear left/right side of your vehicle, the warning light on the outside rear view mirror will blink and a warning will appear on the cluster. At the same time, an audible warning will sound and the steering wheel will vibrate. If the Rear View Monitor is operating, a warning will also appear on the infotainment system screen. (if equipped)

  • Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist will operate when all the following conditions are satisfied:

    • The gear is shifted to R (Reverse) and the vehicle speed is below 8 km/h (5 mph)

    • The approaching vehicle is within approximately 25 m (82 ft.) from the blind spot area of your vehicle

    • The speed of the vehicle approaching from the blind spot area is above 5 km/h (3 mph)

NOTICE

If the operating conditions are satisfied, there will be a warning whenever the vehicle approaches from the left or right side even though your vehicle speed is 0 km/h (0 mph).

Emergency braking

A: Emergency braking

  • To warn the driver of an approaching vehicle from the rear left/right side of your vehicle, the warning light on the outside rear view mirror will blink and a warning message will appear on the cluster. At the same time, an audible warning will sound and the steering wheel will vibrate. If the Rear View Monitor is operating, a warning will also appear on the infotainment system screen. (if equipped)

  • Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist will operate when all the following conditions are satisfied:

    • The gear is shifted to R (Reverse) and the vehicle speed is below 8 km/h (5 mph)

    • The approaching vehicle is within approximately 1.5 m (5 ft.) from the blind spot area of your vehicle

    • The speed of the vehicle approaching from the left and right is above 5 km/h (3 mph)

  • Emergency braking will be assisted to help prevent collision with approaching vehicles from the blind spot area.

WARNING

Brake control will end:

  • The approaching vehicle is out of the detecting range

  • The approaching vehicle passes behind your vehicle

  • The approaching vehicle does not drive toward your vehicle

  • The approaching vehicle speed slows down

  • The driver depresses the brake pedal with sufficient power

Stopping vehicle and ending brake control

A: Drive carefully

  • When the vehicle is stopped due to emergency braking, the warning message will appear on the cluster. For your safety, the driver should depress the brake pedal immediately and check the surroundings.

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

    • During emergency braking, braking control by the function will automatically cancel when the driver excessively depresses the brake pedal.

WARNING

Take the following precautions when using Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist:

  • For your safety, set the Settings after parking the vehicle at a safe location.

  • If any other function's warning message is displayed or audible warning is generated, Rear Cross-Traffic Safety function's warning message may not be displayed and audible warning may not be generated.

  • You may not hear the warning sound of Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist if the surrounding is noisy.

  • Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist may not operate if the driver applies the brake pedal to avoid collision.

  • During Rear Cross-Traffic Safety Function Operation, the vehicle may stop suddenly injuring passengers and shifting loose objects. Always have the seat belt on and keep loose objects secured.

  • Even if there is a problem with Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist, the vehicle's basic braking performance will operate normally.

  • Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist does not operate in all situations or cannot avoid all collisions.

  • When Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist is operating, braking control by the function will automatically cancel when the driver excessively depresses the accelerator pedal.

  • Rear Cross-Traffic Collision- Avoidance Assist may warn the driver late or may not warn the driver depending on the road and driving conditions.

  • The driver should hold the responsibility to control the vehicle. Do not solely depend on Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist. Rather, maintain a safe braking distance, and if necessary, depress the brake pedal to reduce driving speed or to stop the vehicle.

  • Never deliberately operate Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist on people, animal, objects, etc. It may cause serious injury or death.

CAUTION

The brake control may not operate properly depending on the status of ESC (Electronic Stability Control).

There will only be a warning when:

  • The ESC (Electronic Stability Control) warning light is on

  • ESC (Electronic Stability Control) is engaged in a different function

NOTICE

If braking is assisted by Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist, the driver must immediately depress the brake pedal and check vehicle surroundings.

  • Brake control will end when the driver depresses the brake pedal with sufficient power.

  • After shifting the gear to R (Reverse), braking control will operate once for left and right vehicle approach.

NOTICE

The images or colors may be displayed differently depending on the specifications of the instrument cluster or theme.
