To warn the driver of an approaching vehicle from the rear left/right side of your vehicle, the warning light on the side view mirror will blink and a warning will appear on the cluster display. At the same time, an audible warning sounds. If Rear View Monitor (RVM) is operating, a warning also appears on the infotainment system.

RCCA operates when all the following conditions are satisfied:

  • The gear is shifted to R (Reverse) and the vehicle speed is below 5 mph (8 km/h)

  • The approaching vehicle is within about 5 ft. (1.5 m) from the left and right side of your vehicle

  • The speed of the detected vehicle approaching from the left and right is above 3 mph (5 km/h)

Collision warning operates when the approaching vehicle is within about 85 ft. (25 m) from the left and right side of your vehicle.

Braking control ends about 2 seconds after your vehicle is stopped following an emergency braking event. For your safety, the driver should depress the brake pedal immediately and check the surroundings.

  • During emergency braking, braking control by RCCA automatically cancels when the driver excessively depresses the brake pedal.

  • After shifting the gear to R (Reverse), braking control operates once for left and right vehicle approach.

  • Brake control ends 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

  • If RCCA is operated, Brake control ends when the driver depresses the accelerator pedal with sufficient power.

  • RCCA does not operate in all situations or cannot avoid all collisions.

  • RCCA may warn the driver late or may not warn the driver depending on the road and driving conditions.

  • The driver has the responsibility to control the vehicle. Do not solely depend on RCCA. 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 RCCA on people, animals, objects, etc. It may cause serious injury or death.

  • Depending on the status of Electronic Stability Control (ESC), brake control may not operate properly and only a warning is provided when:

    • The ESC warning light is on

    • ESC is engaged in a different function

  • If any other system's warning message appears or audible warning is generated, RCCA warning message may not appear and audible warning may not be generated.

  • You may not hear the warning sound of RCCA if the surroundings are noisy.

  • During RCCA operation, the vehicle may stop suddenly injuring passengers and shifting loose objects. Always have the seat belt on and keep loose objects secured.

  • RCCA may not operate if the driver applies the brake pedal to avoid collision.

  • Even if there is a problem with RCCA, the vehicle's basic braking performance operates properly.
