To turn the system on or off, press the Parking Assist button on the top center of the instrument panel.
Rear Cross Traffic AlertF – During low-speed maneuvers when backing up, the system warns of traffic coming from the left or right by displaying a visual alert on the Rear Vision Camera and sounding an audible tone.

Side Blind Zone Alert/Lane Change AlertF – While driving, the Side Blind Zone Alert/Lane Change Alert displays a warning
