Rear Cross-traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist (RCCA)†3
Rear Cross-traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist (RCCA) is designed to warn the driver under certain conditions. It may activate the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and temporarily apply braking if it detects cross traffic approaching the vehicle when the vehicle is in reverse.
When the RCCA rear-corner radar sensors detect approaching vehicles from the rear left or rear right side of the vehicle A, RCCA will sound a warning, the warning indicators on the outside rearview mirror will illuminate and a message will appear on the Instrument Cluster LCD B and the Infotainment System. If RCCA detects that the collision risk has increased, RCCA automatically applies the brakes to reduce your speed, potentially helping to minimize the effects of a possible collision.
RCCA is designed to operate under the following conditions:
•When the gear shift is in Reverse
•When the vehicle is moving slower than 6 mph
RCCA Settings:
•RCCA can be turned on/off by going to the User Settings* in the Instrument Cluster or the Vehicle Settings* in the Infotainment System
•Only adjust settings when the vehicle is at a standstill, gear shift is in Park and the ignition is on or the Engine Start/Stop button* in the on position
•To access User settings* in the Instrument Cluster - Press the Mode button C on the Steering Wheel to toggle to User Settings . Press the OK D up/down to toggle to Driver Assistance, then Parking Safety. Select Rear Cross Traffic Safety and press the OK button D
•To access Vehicle settings* in the Infotainment System – Press the SETUP key or the onscreen SETUP button. Press VEHICLE to enter Vehicle Settings. Select Driver Assistance, then Parking Safety and select Rear Cross Traffic Safety
•Warning Timing – When in the Driver Assistance menu, select Warning Timing and one of the following:
- Normal: Maximizes the amount of distance between the vehicles before the initial warning occurs
- Later: Reduces the amount of distance between the vehicles before the initial warning occurs
REMINDERS:
•
When vehicle power is cycled, RCCA will remain in the previous state
•
When a vehicle is approaching within the sensing range, and traveling faster than 3 mph, the RCCA system will show a warning
When engaged, RCCA is a supplemental system. Do not solely rely on this system and always pay at tention to the road and its conditions.
Refer to section 5 in the Owner ’s Manual for more information.
