212 DRIVING AND OPERATING
Warning
There may be instances where
unexpected or undesired automatic
braking occurs. If this happens,
either press the brake pedal or
firmly press the accelerator pedal to
release the brakes from the RAB
system. Before releasing the brakes,
check the RVC screen and check the
area around the vehicle to make
sure it is safe to proceed.
Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)
If equipped, RCTA displays a red
warning triangle with a left or right
pointing arrow on the RVC screen to
warn of traffic coming from the left or
right. This system detects objects
coming from up to 20 m (65 ft) from
the left or right-hand side of the
vehicle. When an object is detected,
either three beeps sound from the left
or right or three Safety Alert Seat
pulses occur on the left or right side,
depending on the direction of the
detected vehicle.
Use caution while reversing when
towing a trailer, as the RCTA
detection zones that extend out from
the back of the vehicle do not move
further back when a trailer is towed.
Turning the Features On or Off
Touch on the centre console to
turn on or off the Front and Rear
Parking Assist, Reverse Automatic
Braking (RAB), Rear Cross Traffic Alert
(RCTA), and the Reversing Warning
System at the same time. The
indicator light next to the button
comes on when the features are on
and turns off when the features have
been disabled.
Turn off parking assist, RCTA, and
RAB when towing a trailer.
To turn the RPA symbols or guidance
lines (on some models) on or off, see
Rear Camera under Vehicle
Personalisation 0 144.
RCTA can also be turned on or off
through vehicle personalisation. See
Collision/Detection Systems under
Vehicle Personalisation 0 144.
Automatic Parking Assist (APA)
If equipped, APA searches for and
steers the vehicle into parallel and
perpendicular parking spots. When
using APA, you must still change
gears, and control the brakes and
accelerator. The Driver information
Centre (DIC) and audible beeps help
to guide parking manoeuvres.
Do not use APA when towing a trailer.
Warning
APA does not apply the brakes. APA
may not detect objects in the
parking space, objects that are soft
or narrow, objects high off the
ground such as flat-bed trucks,
or objects below ground level such
as large potholes. Always verify that
the parking space is appropriate for
parking a vehicle. APA does not
respond to changes in the parking
space, such as movement of an
adjacent vehicle, or a person or
object entering the parking space.
APA does not detect or avoid traffic
