purposes.■ Reverse Automatic Braking
(RAB) System OverviewThe Reverse Automatic Braking (RAB)
system will operate th e following 2 func-
tions using 4 sonar sensors.
 Sonar Audible Alarm function
The Reverse Automatic Braking (RAB)
system detects objects rearward and
warns the driver by warning message on
the center information display and
warning beeps.
 Automatic Braking function
The Automatic Braking function detects
objects rearward and if there is a high risk
