System Lights and Messages
When the system detects a vehicle, an alert
indicator illuminates in the exterior mirror on
the side the approaching vehicle is coming
from. If you turn the direction indicator on for
that side of your vehicle, the alert indicator
flashes.
Note:
The system may not alert you if a
vehicle quickly passes through the detection
zone. Blocked Sensors
The sensors are behind the rear bumper on
both sides of your vehicle.
Note:
Keep the sensors free from snow, ice
and large accumulations of dirt.
Note: Do not cover the sensors with bumper
stickers, repair compound or other objects.
Note: Blocked sensors could affect system
performance.
If the sensors become blocked, a message
may appear in the information display. See
Information Messages (page 137). The alert
indicators remain illuminated but the system
does not alert you. System Errors
If the system detects a fault, a warning lamp
illuminates and a message displays.
See
Information Messages (page 137).
Switching the System On and Off
You can switch the system off using the
information display. See General Information
(page
131). When you switch the system off,
a warning lamp illuminates and a message
displays. When you switch the system on or
off, the alert indicators flash twice.
Note: The system remembers the last setting
when you start your vehicle.
Note: The system may not correctly operate
when towing a trailer. For vehicles with a
trailer tow module and tow bar approved by

CROSS TRAFFIC ALERT
WARNING: Do not use the cross
traffic alert system as a replacement for
using the interior and exterior mirrors or
looking over your shoulder before
reversing out of a parking space. The cross
traffic alert system is not a replacement for
careful driving. WARNING:
The system may not
operate properly during severe weather
conditions, for example snow, ice, heavy
rain and spray. Always drive with due care
and attention. Failure to take care may
result in a crash.
The system alerts you of vehicles
approaching from the sides behind your
vehicle when you shift into reverse (R). Using Cross Traffic Alert
The system detects vehicles that approach
at a speed between
4 mph (6 km/h) and
37 mph (60 km/h). Coverage decreases when
the sensors are partially, mostly or fully
obstructed. Slowly reversing helps increase
the coverage area and effectiveness.

STEERING
Electric Power Steering
WARNING: The electric power
steering system has diagnostic checks that
continuously monitor the system. If a fault
is detected, a message displays in the
information display. Stop your vehicle as
soon as it is safe to do so. Switch the
ignition off. After at least 10 seconds,
switch the ignition on and watch the
information display for a steering system
warning message. If a steering system
warning message returns, have the system
checked as soon as possible. WARNING:
If the system detects an
error, you may not feel a difference in the
steering, however a serious condition may
exist. Have your vehicle checked as soon
as possible. Failure to do so may result in
loss of steering control.
Your vehicle is equipped with an electric
power-assisted steering system. There is no
fluid reservoir to check or fill. If your vehicle loses electrical power while
you are driving (or if the ignition is turned
off ), you can steer the vehicle manually, but
it takes more effort. You must adapt your
speed and driving behavior to reduced
steering assist. Extreme continuous steering
may increase the effort it takes for you to
steer. This occurs to prevent internal
overheating and permanent damage to your
steering system. If this should occur, you will
neither lose the ability to steer the vehicle
manually nor will it cause permanent
damage. Typical steering and driving
maneuvers will allow the system to cool
down and steering assist will return to
normal.
Steering Tips
If the steering wanders or pulls, check for:
•
An improperly inflated tire.
• Uneven tire wear.
• Loose or worn suspension components.
• Loose or worn steering components.
• Improper vehicle alignment. A high crown in the road or high crosswinds
may also make the steering seem to wander
or pull.
PRE-COLLISION ASSIST
WARNING:
You are responsible for
controlling your vehicle at all times. The
system is designed to be an aid and does
not relieve you of your responsibility to
drive with due care and attention. Failure
to follow this instruction could result in the
loss of control of your vehicle, personal
injury or death. WARNING:
The system does not
detect vehicles that are driving in a
different direction, pedestrians at night,
cyclists or animals. Apply the brakes when
necessary. Failure to follow this instruction
could result in the loss of control of your
vehicle, personal injury or death.

WARNING: The system does not
operate during hard acceleration or
steering. Failure to take care may lead to
a crash or personal injury. WARNING:
The system may fail or
operate with reduced function during cold
and severe weather conditions. Snow, ice,
rain, spray and fog can adversely affect the
system. Keep the front camera and radar
free of snow and ice. Failure to take care
may result in the loss of control of your
vehicle, serious personal injury or death. WARNING:
In situations where the
vehicle camera has limited detection
capability, this may reduce system
performance. These situations include but
are not limited to direct or low sunlight,
vehicles at night without tail lights,
unconventional vehicle types, pedestrians
with complex backgrounds, running pedestrians, partly obscured pedestrians,
or pedestrians that the system cannot
distinguish from a group. Failure to take
care may result in the loss of control of
your vehicle, serious personal injury or
death.
WARNING:
The system cannot help
prevent all crashes. Do not rely on this
system to replace driver judgment and the
need to maintain a safe distance and
speed.
Using the Pre-Collision Assist System
The system is active at speeds above 3 mph
(5 km/h)
and pedestrian detection is active
at speeds up to 50 mph (80 km/h). If your vehicle is rapidly approaching another
stationary vehicle, a vehicle traveling in the
same direction as yours, or a pedestrian
within your driving path, the system provides
three levels of functionality:1. Alert.
2. Brake support.
3. Active braking.
Alert
: When active, a flashing visual warning
appears and an audible warning tone
sounds.
Brake support: The system helps reduce the
impact speed by preparing the brakes for
rapid braking. Brake support does not
automatically apply the brakes. If you press
the brake pedal, the system could apply
additional braking up to maximum braking
force, even if you lightly press the brake
pedal.
307
Corsair (CTF) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, Edition date: 202007, First-Printing Driving AidsE156130 E255268

Active braking: It activates if the system
determines that a collision is about to occur.
The system may help the driver reduce
impact damage or completely avoid the
crash.
Note: If you perceive pre-collision assist
alerts as being too frequent or disturbing,
you can reduce the alert sensitivity, though
we recommend using the highest sensitivity
setting where possible. Setting lower
sensitivity would lead to fewer and later
system warnings.
Note: Brake support and active braking are
active at speeds up to 75 mph (120 km/h). If
your vehicle has a radar sensor, included
with adaptive cruise control, then brake
support and active braking are active up to
the maximum speed of your vehicle.
Note: The system turns off when you select
the deep conditions drive mode. Distance Indication and Alert (If Equipped)
This feature is a function that provides the
driver with a graphical indication of the time
gap to other preceding vehicles traveling in
the same direction. The information display
screen shows one of the images that follow. If the time gap to a preceding vehicle is
small, a red visual indication displays to the
driver.
Note:
Distance indication and alert
deactivates and the images do not display
when adaptive cruise control is active.

WHAT IS SPEED SIGN
RECOGNITION
Speed sign recognition detects speed limit
signs to inform you of the current speed limit.
Detected speed signs appear in the
information display.
HOW DOES SPEED SIGN
RECOGNITION WORK
Speed sign recognition uses a sensor behind
the interior mirror to detect speed signs.
If your vehicle has speed sign recognition
with navigation, stored speed sign data may
influence the indicated speed limit value.
SPEED SIGN RECOGNITION
PRECAUTIONS WARNING: You are responsible for
controlling your vehicle at all times. The
system is designed to be an aid and does
not relieve you of your responsibility to
drive with due care and attention. Failure
to follow this instruction could result in the
loss of control of your vehicle, personal
injury or death. WARNING:
In cold and severe
weather conditions the system may not
function. Rain, snow and spray can all limit
sensor performance. WARNING:
The system may not
operate properly if the sensor is blocked.
Keep the windshield free from obstruction.
Note: Do not carry out windshield repairs in
the immediate area surrounding the sensor.
Note: If your vehicle has a suspension kit
not approved by us, the system may not
correctly function. Note:
The system may not detect all speed
signs and may incorrectly read signs.
Note: Always fit our original parts when
replacing headlamp bulbs. Other bulbs may
reduce system performance.
SPEED SIGN RECOGNITION
LIMITATIONS
Speed sign recognition may not operate
correctly due to:
• Outdated map data.
• Incorrect recognition of speed limits by
the sensor of signs on parallel roads or
exit ramps.
• Missed recognition of faded, dirty, or
distorted signs.
