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.
