{
Warning
RAB may not avoid many types of
backing crashes. Do not wait for the
automatic braking to apply. This system
is not designed to replace driver braking
and only works in R (Reverse) when an
object is detected directly behind the
vehicle. It may not brake or stop in time
to avoid a crash. It will not brake for
objects when the vehicle is moving at
very low speeds. It does not detect
children, pedestrians, bicyclists, animals,
or objects below the bumper or that are
too close or too far from the vehicle. To
prevent injury, death, or vehicle damage,
even with RAB, always check the area
around the vehicle before and while
backing.
Pressing the brake pedal after the vehicle
comes to a stop will release RAB. If the
brake pedal is not pressed soon after the
stop, the Electric Parking Brake (EPB) may be
set. When it is safe, press the accelerator
pedal firmly at any time to override RAB.
{
Warning
There may be instances where
unexpected or undesired automatic
braking occurs. If this happens, either
press the brake pedal or firmly press the
accelerator pedal to release the brakes
from the RAB system. Before releasing
the brakes, check the RVC and check the
area around the vehicle to make sure it is
safe to proceed.
Unexpected braking events are possible with
a static installed accessory, such as a bike
rack or hitch-mounted cargo carrier.
Rear Pedestrian Alert
Under certain conditions, this feature can
provide alerts for a pedestrian within the
system’s range directly behind the vehicle.
This feature only works in R (Reverse) below
12 km/h (8 mph), and detects pedestrians up
to 8 m (26 ft) away during daytime driving.
During nighttime driving, feature
performance is very limited.
Rear Pedestrian Alert Indicator
When a pedestrian is detected within the
system’s range directly behind the vehicle,
this symbol flashes amber on the
infotainment display, along with five beeps
from the rear, or if equipped, two pulses
from both sides of the driver seat. When a
pedestrian is detected close to the vehicle,
the symbol flashes red on the infotainment
display, along with ten beeps from the rear,
or if equipped, seven pulses from both sides
of the driver seat.
