It does not detect children, pedestrians,
bicyclists, animals, or objects below the

from the vehicle. In some situations, such
as at higher backing speeds, there may
not be enough time for the short, sharp
application of the vehicle brake system
to occur. To prevent injury, death, or
vehicle damage, even with the Backing

the vehicle is moving at very low speeds.
It does not detect children, pedestrians,

here 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

cking Warning alerts of rear objects at
vehicle speeds greater than 8 km/h (5 mph).
RAB may automatically brake hard at speeds
between 1–32 km/h (0.5–20 mph).
The Backing Warning System will beep once
from the rear when an object is first detected,
or pulse twice on both sides of the Safety Alert
Seat. When the system detects apotential
crash, beeps will be heard from the rear, or five
pulses will be felt on both sides of the Safety
Alert Seat. There may also be abrief, sharp
application of the brakes.
When the vehicle is in R (Reverse), if the system
detects the vehicle is backing too fast to avoid
acrash with adetected object behind your
vehicle in your path, it may automatically
brake hard to a stop to help avoid or reduce the
harm caused by abacking crash.
To view available settings from the
infotainment home screen, touch Settings
>Vehicle >Collision/Detection Systems.
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.
