System Settings and Operation

System Settings

The Rear Collision-Avoidance Assist can be activated from the settings menu on the LCD display or the infotainment system display by following the procedure described below.

1. Set the ENGINE START/STOP button to the ON or START position.

2. Select "Settings" → "Driver Assistance" → "Parking Safety" → "Active Assist" / "Warning Only" / "Off" on the infotainment system display.

- The system is ready for operation when "Active Assist" is selected. In the event of an unavoidable collision with a pedestrian or object, the system warns the driver or applies braking force to help avoid the collision.
- The system is ready for operation when "Warning Only" is selected. In the event of an unavoidable collision with a pedestrian, the system warns the driver but does not provide braking assistance.
- The system is deactivated when "Off" is selected.

Operating Conditions

The Rear Collision-Avoidance Assist becomes ready when "Active Assist" or "Warning Only" is selected on the AVN system screen and the following conditions are met:

• Liftgate closed
• The shift lever is in the R (Reverse) position.
• Vehicle speed is below 6 mph (10 km/h)
• The rear view camera and rear ultrasonic sensors are in normal operating condition.

The driver must select "Active Assist" on the infotainment system display of the collision-avoidance system.

Solid lines behind the vehicle on the cluster LCD display indicate that the system is ready to assist the driver.

Note that the system assists the driver only once. The driver must shift the transmission to R (Reverse) from another gear position to reactivate the system.

Rear Cross Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist performance may vary under certain conditions. If the vehicle speed exceeds 2 mph (3 km/h), the system may only help the driver avoid a collision with a pedestrian.

As always, be careful when backing up your vehicle and be aware of your surroundings.
