Warning (Continued)
backing speeds, there may
not be enough time for the
short, sharp application of
the vehicle brake system to
occur. To prevent injury,
death, or vehicle damage,
even with the Backing
Warning System, always
check the area around the
vehicle and check all mirrors
before backing.
When the vehicle is in
R (Reverse), if the system
detects the vehicle is backing
too fast to avoid a crash with
a detected object behind your
vehicle in your path, it may
automatically brake hard to a
stop to help avoid or reduce
the harm caused by a backing
crash.
Warning
RAB may not avoid many
types of backing crashes. Do
not wait for the automatic
braking to apply. This
system is not designed to
replace driver braking and
only works in R (Reverse)
when an object is detected
directly behind the vehicle.
It may not brake or stop in
time to avoid a crash. It will
not brake for objects when
the vehicle is moving at very
low speeds. It does not
detect children, pedestrians,
bicyclists, animals, or objects
below the bumper or that
are too close or too far from
the vehicle. To prevent
injury, death, or vehicle
damage, even with RAB,
always check the area
around the vehicle before
and while backing.
Driving and Operating
Pressing the brake pedal after
the vehicle comes to a stop
will release RAB. If the brake
pedal is not pressed soon
after the stop, the Electric
Parking Brake (EPB) may be
set. When it is safe, press the
accelerator pedal firmly at any
time to override RAB.
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 and
check the area around the
vehicle to make sure it is
safe to proceed.
