What Is Cross Traffic Alert
The system alerts you of vehicles approaching from the sides behind your vehicle when you shift into reverse (R).
How Does Cross Traffic Alert Work
Cross traffic alert detects vehicles that approach at a speed between 4–37 mph (6–60 km/h). Coverage decreases when the sensors are partially, mostly or fully obstructed.
The sensor on the left-hand side is only partially obstructed and zone coverage on the right-hand side is maximized.
Zone coverage also decreases when parking at narrow angles. The sensor on the left-hand side is mostly obstructed and zone coverage on that side is severely reduced.
Note: Slowly reversing helps increase the coverage area and effectiveness.
CROSS TRAFFIC ALERT PRECAUTIONS
 WARNING: Do not use the cross traffic alert system as a replacement for using the interior and exterior mirrors or looking over your shoulder before reversing out of a parking space. The cross traffic alert system is not a replacement for careful driving. WARNING: The system may not operate properly during severe weather conditions, for example snow, ice, heavy rain and spray. Always drive with due care and attention. Failure to take care may result in a crash. |
