Safe Exit Assist*
The safe exit assist is a sys-
tem that uses rear side
radar sensors installed on
the inner side of the rear
bumper to help occupants
judge if an approaching
vehicle or bicycle may col-
lide with a door when open-
ing it or cancel opening of
the door, to reduce the pos-
sibility of a collision.
WARNING
■Cautions regarding the use of
the system
●The driver is solely responsible
for safe driving. Always drive
safely, taking care to observe
your surroundings.
●The safe exit assist is a supple-
mentary system that, when the
vehicle is stopped, informs
occupants of the existence of
approaching vehicles and bicy-
cles. As this system alone can-
not be used to judge safety,
over-reliance on this system
may lead to an accident result-
ing in death or serious injury.
In certain situations, this system
may not function to its fullest
extent. Therefore it is necessary
for the occupants to visually
check for safety directly and using
the mirrors.
