If the operating conditions are satisfied, there will be a warning whenever the vehicle approaches from the left or right side even though your vehicle speed is 0 mph (0 km/h).

Emergency Braking

• To warn the driver of an approaching vehicle from the rear left/right side of your vehicle, the warning light on the outside rearview mirror will blink and, the 'Emergency Braking' warning message will appear on the cluster.

  -- The approaching vehicle is within approximately 5 ft. (1.5 m) from the left and right side of your vehicle
  -- The speed of the vehicle approaching from the left and right is above 3 mph (5 km/h)
• Emergency braking will be assisted to help prevent collision with approaching vehicles from the left and right.

WARNING

Brake control will end when:

-- The approaching vehicle is out of the detecting range
-- The approaching vehicle passes behind your vehicle
-- The approaching vehicle does not drive toward your vehicle
-- The approaching vehicle speed slows down
-- The driver depresses the brake pedal with sufficient power

Stopping vehicle and ending brake control

• When the vehicle is stopped due to emergency braking, the ‘Drive carefully’ warning message will appear on the cluster.
• For your safety, the driver should depress the brake pedal immediately and check the surroundings.
• Brake control will end after the vehicle is stopped by emergency braking for approximately 2 seconds.
• During emergency braking, braking control by the system will automatically cancel when the driver excessively depresses the brake pedal.

WARNING

Take the following precautions when using Rear Cross-Traffic Safety system:

• For your safety, change the Settings after parking the vehicle at a safe location.
• If any other system’s warning message is displayed or audible warning is generated, Rear Cross- Traffic Safety system’s warning message may not be displayed and audible warning may not be generated.
• You may not hear the warning sound of Rear Cross-Traffic Safety system if the surrounding is noisy.
• Rear Cross-Traffic Safety system may not operate if the driver applies the brake pedal to avoid collision.
• During Rear Cross-Traffic Safety system operation, the vehicle may stop suddenly injuring passengers and shifting loose objects. Always have the seat belt on and keep loose objects secured.
• Even if there is a problem with Rear Cross-Traffic Safety system, the vehicle’s basic braking performance will operate normally.
• Rear Cross-Traffic Safety system does not operate in all situations or cannot avoid all collisions.
• During emergency braking, braking control by the function will automatically cancel when the driver excessively depresses the accelerator pedal.
• The driver should hold the responsibility to control the vehicle. Do not solely depend on Rear Cross-Traffic Safety system. Rather, maintain a safe braking distance, and if necessary, depress the brake pedal to reduce driving speed or to stop the vehicle.
• Never deliberately operate Rear Cross-Traffic Safety system on people, animal, objects, etc. It may cause serious injury or death.

CAUTION

The brake control may not operate properly depending on the status of ESC (Electronic Stability Control). There will only be a warning when:
