The Rear Crossing Traffic Alert function (if equipped)
The Rear Crossing Traffic Alert functions when your vehicle is in

WARNING
■ Cautions regarding the use of the system
The driver is solely responsible for safe driving. Always drive safely, taking
care to observe your surroundings.
The Rear Crossing Traffic Alert function is only an assist and is not a
replacement for careful driving. The driver must be careful when backing
up, even when using the Rear Crossing Traffic Alert function. The driver's
own visual confirmation of behind you and your vehicle is necessary and be
sure there are no pedestrians, other vehicles etc. before backing up. Failure
to do so could cause death or serious injury.
According to conditions, the system may not function correctly. Therefore
the driver's own visual confirmation of safety is necessary.
