Rear Pedestrian Alert
If equipped, and 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.
