Rear cross-traffic collision warning system

~2min read

When reversing out of a parking space, the sensor detects vehicles approaching from the left or right and warns you.

Betriebsbedingungen

  • Go to "User Settings" mode, select "Driver Assistance", "Rear Collision Warning", and then select "Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning" on the LCD display. The system is activated and remains activated.
  • Select "Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Warning" again to turn the system off.
  • When the vehicle is turned off and back on, the rear cross-traffic warning system returns to the state it was in before the vehicle was turned off. Turn off the rear cross-traffic warning system when it is not needed.
  • The system is active when vehicle speed is up to 10 km/h and the shift lever is in reverse (R).
  • The RCCW rear cross-traffic collision warning system has a detection range of approximately 0.5 m to 20 m in the lateral direction. If the speed of an approaching vehicle within the detection range is between 4 km/h and 36 km/h, a warning is activated. However, the detection range of the system depends on various conditions. Always pay attention to your surroundings.

Warning Type

  • Wenn das von den Sensoren erkannte Fahrzeug sich Ihrem Fahrzeug nähert, ertönt das Warnsignal und es blinkt die Warnleuchte am Außenspiegel.
  • Wenn das erkannte Fahrzeug sich außerhalb des Erkennungsbereichs befindet, sich in entgegengesetzte Richtung oder langsam bewegt, wird die Warnmeldung unterdrückt.
  • The system may not function properly due to other factors or conditions, so you must always watch your surroundings.

❈ If the bumper on one side is blocked by a barrier or vehicles, the detection capability of the system may be impaired.

WARNING

  • The warning lamp on the outside mirror illuminates whenever a vehicle is detected behind the system. To avoid accidents, do not focus only on the warning lamp and do not forget to watch the area around your vehicle.
  • Drive carefully even if the vehicle is equipped with a Blind-Spot Collision Warning (BCW) system. Do not rely only on the system; check for yourself before changing lanes. The system may not warn the driver in certain situations, so always check your surroundings while driving.

WARNING

  • The system may not function properly if the bumper has been replaced or repair work has been performed near the sensor.
  • Der Erkennungsbereich ändert sich entsprechend der Straßenbreite. Bei einer engen Straße kann das System andere Fahrzeuge in der nächsten Fahrspur erkennen.
  • Bei einer sehr breiten Straßehingen erkennt das System möglicherweise Keine anderen Fahrzeuge.
  • The system may switch off due to strong electromagnetic waves.
