-- The tailgate is closed
-- The gear is shifted to R (Reverse)
-- Vehicle speed is below 6 mph (10 km/h)
-- System components such as the rear view camera and the rear ultrasonic sensors are in normal conditions

Warning Only

• If the function detects a risk of collision with a pedestrian or an object, the system will warn the driver with an audible warning, steering wheel vibration and warning message on the cluster. When Rear View Monitor is operating, a warning will appear on the infotainment system screen.
• ‘If ‘Warning Only’ is selected, braking will not be assisted.
• The warning will turn off when the gear is shifted to P (Park), N (Neutral) or D (Drive).

Active Assist

• If the function detects a risk of collision with a pedestrian or an object, the system will warn the driver with an audible warning, steering wheel vibration and warning message on the cluster. When Rear View Monitor is operating, a warning will appear on the infotainment system screen.
• If the function detects imminent collision with a pedestrian or an object behind the vehicle, the system will assist you with braking. The driver needs to pay attention as the brake assist will end within 2 seconds. The driver must immediately depress the brake pedal and check vehicle surroundings.
• Brake control will end when:
  -- The gear is shifted to P (Park) or D (Drive).
  -- The driver depresses the brake pedal with sufficient power
  -- Braking assist has last for approximately 2 seconds
• The warning will turn off when:
  -- The driver shifts the gear to P (Park), N (Neutral), or D (Drive)
• 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

WARNING

• Reverse Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist may not operate properly or may operate unnecessarily depending on the road conditions and the surroundings.
• Always pay extreme caution while driving. The driver is responsible for controlling the brake for safe driving.
• Always pay attention to road and traffic conditions while driving, whether or not there is a warning.

CAUTION

• Playing the vehicle audio system at high volume may prevent passengers from hearing Reverse Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist warning sounds.
• Noise may be heard when sudden braking occurs to avoid a collision.
• If any other warning sound such as the seat belt warning chime is already generated, Reverse Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist warning may not sound.
• The performance of Reverse Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist may vary under certain conditions. If vehicle speed is above 2 mph (4 km/h), the system will provide collision avoidance assist only when pedestrians are detected. Always look around and pay attention when backing up your vehicle.
