Safe Exit Assist
The safe exit assist is a system that
uses rear side radar sensors
installed on the inner side of the
rear bumper to help occupants
judge if an approaching vehicle or
bicycle may collide with a door
when exiting, to help reduce the
possibility of a collision.
WARNING
■ Cautions regarding the use of the sys-
tem
● The driver is solely responsible for safe
driving. Always drive safely, taking
care to observe your surroundings.
● The safe exit assist is a supplementary
system that, when the vehicle is
stopped, informs occupants of the
existence of approaching vehicles and
bicycles. As this system alone cannot
be used to judge safety, over-reliance
on this system may lead to an accident
resulting in death or serious injury.
In certain situations, this system may not
function to its fullest extent. Therefore it is
necessary for the occupants to visually
check for safety directly and using the
mirrors.
