Rear cross traffic alert
The rear cross traffic alert function warns the driver about approaching vehicles, bicycles, and pedestrians when the car is reversing. If a potential collision is detected, the function automatically issues a warning and, if a collision is imminent, activates the brakes.
Note: Bicycles and pedestrians are more difficult for the system to detect. Always pay attention to your surroundings and be ready to brake manually.
The rear cross traffic alert function is active whenever the car is in R, or the car is moving backwards in N.
Rear cross traffic alert is active by default at the start of each journey.

| • | Dirt, ice, or snow build-up on the sensors |
The function is automatically disabled if a trailer is connected to the electrical system of the car.
Note: If any fault is detected with the function, the message RCTA function is unavailable appears in the driver display.
