220 Driving and Operating
Warning (Continued)
Under many conditions, these
systems will not:. Detect children,
pedestrians, bicyclists,
or animals.
. Detect vehicles or objects
outside the area monitored
by the system.
. Work at all driving speeds.
. Warn you or provide you
with enough time to avoid a
crash.
. Work under poor visibility or
bad weather conditions.
. Work if the detection sensor
is not cleaned or is covered
by ice, snow, mud, or dirt.
Complete attention is always
required while driving, and you
should be ready to take action
and apply the brakes and/or steer
the vehicle to avoid crashes. Audible or Safety Alert Seat
Some driver assistance features
alert the driver of obstacles by
beeping. To change the volume of
the warning chime, see
“Comfort
and Convenience” underVehicle
Personalization 0151.
If equipped with the Safety Alert
Seat, the driver seat cushion may
provide a vibrating pulse alert
instead of beeping. To change this,
see “Collision/Detection Systems”
under Vehicle
Personalization 0151.
Assistance Systems for
Parking or Backing
If equipped, the Rear Vision Camera
(RVC), Rear Parking Assist (RPA),
Front Parking Assist (FPA),
Surround Vision, Front Vision
Camera, Reverse Automatic
Braking (RAB) and Backing Warning
System, Rear Cross Traffic Alert
(RCTA), and Automatic Parking
Assist (APA) may help the driver
park or avoid objects. Always check
around the vehicle when parking or
backing. Rear Vision Camera (RVC)
When the vehicle is shifted into
R (Reverse), the RVC displays an
image of the area behind the vehicle
in the center stack display. The
previous screen displays when the
vehicle is shifted out of R (Reverse)
after a short delay. To return to the
previous screen sooner, press a
button on the infotainment system,
shift into P (Park), or reach a vehicle
speed of 8 km/h (5 mph).

interval between the beeps
becomes shorter as the vehicle gets
closer to the obstacle.
When an object is first detected in
the rear, both sides of the Safety
Alert Seat will pulse two times.
When an object is very close
(<0.6 m (2 ft) in the vehicle rear,
or <0.3 m (1 ft) in the vehicle front),
a continuous tone will sound from
the front or rear depending on
object location, or both sides of the
Safety Alert Seat will pulse five
times. Beeps for FPA are higher
pitched than for RPA.
Backing Warning and Reverse
Automatic Braking (RAB)
Vehicles with Adaptive Cruise
Control (ACC) have the Backing
Warning System and Reverse
Automatic Braking (RAB) system.
When in R (Reverse), Backing
Warning alerts of rear objects at
vehicle speeds greater than 8 km/h
(5 mph), and RAB may
automatically brake hard at speeds
between 1–32 km/h (0.5–20 mph).The Backing Warning System will
beep once from the rear when an
object is first detected, or pulse
twice on both sides of the Safety
Alert Seat. When the system
detects a potential crash, beeps will
be heard from the rear, or five
pulses will be felt on both sides of
the Safety Alert Seat. There may
also be a brief, sharp application of
the brakes.
{Warning
The Backing Warning System
only operates at speeds greater
than 8 km/h (5 mph). It does not
detect children, pedestrians,
bicyclists, animals, or objects
below the bumper or that are too
close or too far from the vehicle.
In some situations, such as at
higher 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
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
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 (Continued)

224 Driving and Operating
Warning (Continued)
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.
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 (Continued)
Warning (Continued)
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 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 backing up 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
TouchXon the center stack to
turn on or off the Front and Rear
Parking Assist, Reverse Automatic
Braking (RAB), Rear Cross Traffic
Alert (RCTA), and the Backing
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 Personalization 0151.
RCTA can also be turned on or off
through vehicle personalization. See
“Collision/Detection Systems” under
Vehicle Personalization 0151.
