WHAT IS CROSS TRAFFIC
BRAKING
The system is designed to reduce impact
damage or assist in avoiding a collision by
using the sensors on the rear of your
vehicle to detect a possible collision and
applies the brakes.
HOW DOES CROSS TRAFFIC
BRAKING WORK
The system only reacts for vehicles
approaching from the sides when you shift
into reverse (R).
If the system detects a vehicle approaching
your vehicle, it provides a warning through
the cross traffic alert system.
The system only applies the brakes for a
short period of time when an event occurs.
Take action as soon as you notice the
system applying the brakes in order to
remain in control of your vehicle, the
system does not do this for you.
Note: You need to enable cross traffic alert
for the system to function.

WARNING: To help avoid personal
injury, always use caution when in
reverse (R) and when using the sensing
system.
WARNING: The system may not
operate properly during severe weather
conditions, for example snow, ice, heavy
rain and spray. Always drive with due
care and attention. Failure to take care
may result in a crash.
WARNING: Traffic control systems,
fluorescent lamps, inclement weather,
air brakes, external motors and fans may
affect the correct operation of the
sensing system. This may cause reduced
performance or false alerts.
WARNING: Some situations and
objects prevent hazard detection, for
example, inclement weather,
unconventional vehicle types and
pedestrians. Apply the brakes when
necessary. Failure to follow this
instruction could result in the loss of
control of your vehicle, personal injury or
death.
WARNING: Do not use the system
with accessories that extend beyond the
front or rear of your vehicle, for example
a trailer hitch or bike rack. The system is
not able to make corrections for the
additional length of the accessories.
Note: Certain add-on devices around the
bumper or fascia may create false alerts.
For example, large trailer hitches, bicycle or
surfboard racks, license plate brackets,
bumper covers or any other device that may
block the normal detection zone of the
system. Remove the add-on device to
prevent false alerts.
