Rearward detection function
The rearward detection function is
designed to reduce damage in the
event of a collision with a target object
when reversing.
The rearward detection function
detects obstructions using the rear
ultrasonic sensors. In addition, if there
is the possibility of your vehicle
colliding with a target object at the rear
while you are driving in reverse, you
are notified of possible danger by a
warning sound and a warning
indication on the display.
Furthermore, if the possibility of a
collision increases, brake control is
performed to reduce damage in the
event of a collision.
WARNING
Always check the surrounding area
visually when reversing the vehicle:
The operation of the rearward
detection function has certain
limitations. Therefore, the function
might not operate or it might be
delayed even if there is a target object
at the rear of your vehicle. Always
make it your responsibility as a driver
to check the rear.
