WHAT IS CROSS TRAFFIC ALERT
The system alerts you of vehicles
approaching from the sides behind your
vehicle when you shift into reverse (R).
HOW DOES CROSS TRAFFIC
ALERT WORK
Cross Traffic Alert detects vehicles that
approach at a speed between 4–37 mph
(6–60 km/h). Coverage decreases when the
sensors are partially, mostly or fully
obstructed. The sensor on the left-hand side is only
partially obstructed and zone coverage on
the right-hand side is maximized. Zone coverage also decreases when parking
at narrow angles. The sensor on the left-hand
side is mostly obstructed and zone coverage
on that side is severely reduced.
Note:
Slowly reversing helps increase the
coverage area and effectiveness. CROSS TRAFFIC ALERT
PRECAUTIONS 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.
