Front air bags are not designed to inflate
in rear collisions, because occupants
are moved backward by the force of the
impact. In this case, inflated air bags
would not provide any additional benefit.
ODN8A039053
Front air bags may not inflate in side
impact collisions, because occupants
move in the direction of the collision,
and thus in side impacts, front air bag
deployment would not provide additional
occupant protection.
However, side and curtain air bags may
inflate depending on the severity of
impact.
ODN8039059
In an angled collision, the force of impact
may direct the occupants in a direction
where the air bags would not be able to
provide any additional benefit, and thus
the sensors may not deploy any air bags.
ODN8039054
Just before impact, drivers often brake
heavily. Such heavy braking lowers the
front portion of the vehicle causing it
to “ride” under a vehicle with a higher
ground clearance. Air bags may not
inflate in this “underride” situation
because deceleration forces that are
detected by sensors may be significantly
reduced by such “underride” collisions.

Operating conditions
Reverse Parking Collision-Avoidance
Assist system enters the ready status,
when ‘Active Assist’ or ‘Warning Only’ is
selected in the AVN system screen and
the following conditions are satisfied:
• The trunk is closed
• The shift lever is in R (Reverse)
• Vehicle speed is below 6 mph (10
km/h)
• System components such as the rear
view camera and the rear ultrasonic
sensors are in normal conditions
The driver needs to select ‘Active Assist’
on the LCD display or infotainment
system display for collision-avoidance
assist.
The solid lines behind the vehicle in the
cluster LCD display indicates that the
system is ready to assist the driver.
Note that the system assists the driver
only once. The driver has to shift the gear
to R (Reverse) from another gear position
to reactivate the system.
The performance of Reverse Parking
Collision-Avoidance Assist system may
vary under certain conditions. If the
vehicle speed exceeds 2 mph (3 km/h),
the system can assist only pedestrian
collision avoidance.
As always, be careful when backing
up your vehicle and be aware of your
surroundings.
