On and Off
With the ENGINE START/STOP button in “ON”
position, go to “Settings → Driving Assistance
→ Blind Spot Driving Assistance” in the AV
system, and press the
soft key on the right
side of “Rear Approach Alert” to activate or
deactivate this function.
NOTE
The system has the button state memory
function, so that when the vehicle is
restarted, the system will work at the state
before last shutdown.
How it alerts the driver
The rear approach alert function automatically
activates and quickly flashes the hazard
warning lamps to alert the rapidly approaching
vehicles behind.
CAUTION
The rear approach alert function is only
for assist and cannot replace the driver
to monitor the external traffic conditions.
The driver should always be alert to the
surrounding environment.
Working conditions
The preconditions required for activating the
function are as follows:
-
The vehicle is started and the gearshift
lever is in a position other than R.
-
The function is enabled and has no fault.
When the radar detects that there is a vehicle
approaching at a high speed in this lane
behind, the function will be activated to alert
the driver in the vehicle behind to reduce the
risk of rear-end collision.
CAUTION
● This function cannot detect objects
behind another vehicle or obstacle.
● When the vehicle behind is moving
too fast, this function may not issue an
alarm in time.
● This function does not trigger an alarm
when the driver has turned on the
hazard warning lamp switch.
