  • When Electric child safety lock is operating and an approaching vehicle from the rear area is detected, the rear doors cannot be unlocked even if the driver tries to unlock the rear doors using the electronic child safety lock button. The warning light on the side view mirror will blink and the “Check traffic in the blind spot, then try again” warning message will appear on the instrument cluster.

  • Safe Exit Assist will warn the driver when vehicle speed is below 1.8 mph (3 km/h) and the speed of the approaching vehicle from the rear is above 4 mph (6 km/h).

For more information on electric child safety lock (Ņ) button, refer to the “Electronic child safety lock” section in chapter 5.

If the driver presses the electronic child lock (Ņ) button again within 10 seconds after the warning message appears, Safe Exit Assist judges that the driver has unlocked the doors acknowledging the rear status. The electronic child safety lock will turn off (button indicator OFF) and the rear doors will unlock. Always check the surroundings before turning off the electronic child safety lock button.

If a rear door is opened from the outside, it will open regardless of Safe Exit Assist operation.

Take the following precautions when using Safe Exit Assist:

  • For your safety, change the Settings after parking the vehicle at a safe location.

  • If any other system’s warning message appears or an audible warning is generated, Safe Exit Assist warning message may not be displayed and an audible warning may not be generated.

  • You may not hear the warning sound of Safe Exit Assist if the surroundings are noisy.

  • Safe Exit Assist does not operate in all situations and cannot prevent all collisions.

  • Safe Exit Assist may warn the driver late or may not warn the driver depending on the road and driving conditions. Always check vehicle surroundings.

  • The driver and passengers are responsible for collisions that occur while exiting the vehicle. Always check the surroundings before you exit the vehicle.

  • Never deliberately test Safe Exit Assist. Doing so may lead to serious injury or death.

  • After the engine is turned off, Safe Exit Assist operates about for 3 minutes, but turns off immediately if the doors are locked.

  • The images and colours in the instrument cluster may differ depending on the instrument cluster type or theme selected from the settings menu.
