Reverse Parking Collision-Avoidance
Assist (PCA) is a supplemental system
that can warn the driver or apply braking
force to reduce the possibility of collision
with pedestrians when the vehicle is
reversing.
WARNING
• Always look around your vehicle to
make sure there are no objects or
pedestrian before moving the vehicle
in any direction to prevent a collision.
• Do not solely rely on Reverse Parking
Collision-Avoidance Assist system.
The system might not assist the
driver leading to pedestrian injury or
vehicle damage.
• Be aware that some objects may
not be visible on the screen or be
detected by the rear ultrasonic
sensors, due to the objects’ distance,
size or material, all of which can limit
the effectiveness of the sensors.

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.

• If the system detects a risk of collision
with a pedestrian or an object behind
the vehicle, the system will warn the
driver with audible warning, steering
wheel vibration, and warnings on
the cluster LCD display and the
infotainment system display.
• If the system detects imminent
collision with a pedestrian or an object
behind the vehicle, the system may
apply braking power. The driver needs
to pay attention as the brake will
release within 2 seconds. The driver
must immediately depress the brake
pedal and check surroundings.

The brake assist will turn off when:
- The driv
er shifts the gear to P (Park) or
D (Drive)
- The driv

er depresses the brake pedal
with sufficient power
- The br

aking has been assisted for
approximately 2 seconds
The warning will turn off when:
- The driv

er shifts the gear to P (Park), N
(Neutral), or D (Drive)
The brake control may not operate
properly depending on the status of the
ESC (Electronic Stability Control). There
will only be a warning when:
- The ESC (Electr

onic Stability Control)
warning light is on
- The ESC (Electr

onic Stability Control)
is engaged in a different function
Warning only
• If the system detects a risk of collision
with a pedestrian or an object, the
system will warn the driver with
audible warning and warnings on the
cluster LCD display or infotainment
system display.
• If ‘Warning Only’ is selected, braking
will not be assisted.
The warning will turn off when:
- The driv

er shifts the gear to P (Park), N
(Neutral), or D (Drive)
WARNING
• Reverse Parking Collision-
Avoidance Assist system may
not operate properly or may
operate unnecessarily in some
circumstances.
• Always pay extreme caution while
driving. The driver is responsible for
controlling the brake appropriately.
CAUTION
• Always pay attention to road and
traffic conditions while driving,
whether or not there is a warning.
• Playing the vehicle audio system at
high volume may prevent occupants
from hearing Reverse Parking
Collision-Avoidance Assist system
warning sounds.
• If any other warning sound, such as
seat belt warning chime, is already
generated, Reverse Parking Collision-
Avoidance Assist system warning
may not sound.
Information
The system can detect a pedestrian or an
object when:
• A pedestrian is standing behind the
vehicle.
• A large obstacle, such as a vehicle, is
parked in the rear center of the vehicle.

Reverse Parking Distance Warning
system assists the driver during reverse
movement of the vehicle by chiming if an
object is sensed within the distance of 48
in (120 cm) behind the vehicle.
This system is a supplemental system
that senses objects within the range and
location of the sensors, it cannot detect
objects in other areas where sensors are
not installed.
WARNING
• ALWAYS look around your vehicle to
make sure there are not any objects
or obstacles before moving the
vehicle in any direction to prevent a
collision.
• Always pay close attention when the
vehicle is driven close to objects,
particularly pedestrians, and
especially children.
• Be aware that some objects may
not be visible on the screen or be
detected by the sensors, due to the
objects distance, size or material, all
of which can limit the effectiveness
of the sensor.
Operation of Reverse Parking
Distance Warning System
Operating condition
