Make sure the relevant safety warnings have been read and understood before driving the vehicle. See COLLISION AVOIDANCE SAFETY.
If Rear Traffic Braking is switched off, the system does not apply the brakes if a imminent collision is detected.
The quality of the camera views may vary in different lighting conditions.
Depending on the market in which the vehicle is used, an audible and visual warning is provided during a reversing maneuver.
The rear traffic monitor system consists of two features to assist the driver when carrying out a reversing maneuver:
Audible warnings do not sound if the vehicle is stationary. Additionally, audible warnings are not repeated until the collision threat visual alert disappears.
The Rear Traffic Warning feature is active when Reverse (R) gear is selected. The feature also becomes active from a stationary position and remains active up to speeds of approximately 10 mph (16 km/h).
If required, the Rear Traffic Warning feature can be switched on or off via the driver assistance menu. To switch the Rear Traffic Warning feature on or off, complete the following steps:
If Rear Traffic Warning is switched off, the collision impact alert icon does not display, and no audio alerts sound.
The Rear Traffic Braking feature is active when the vehicle detects reverse movement and remains active up to speeds of approximately 5 mph (10 km/h).
The Rear Traffic Braking feature can also be switched on or off via the driver assistance menu. To switch the Rear Traffic Braking feature on or off, complete the following steps:
The touchscreen displays the Rear traffic monitor unavailable icon (3) if either the Rear Traffic Warning or Rear Traffic Braking feature is not available, or if a fault is detected. The icon (3) also displays if both features are not available, or a fault is detected.
If a fault in a single sensor is detected, the entire rear traffic monitor feature is disabled.
If the rear sensors are blocked, the rear traffic monitor’s performance will be reduced, or the feature may be disabled all together. In the event that this occurs, the instrument panel displays a message requesting the rear bumper to be cleared of the obstacle and icon (3) displays on the touchscreen.
If a fault is not rectified when the vehicle's electrical system is switched off and then on again, consult a retailer/authorized repairer.
