a Lane Departure Warning (LDW)
alert as the lane marking is crossed.
The system will not assist or alert if
it detects that you are actively
steering. Override LKA by turning
the steering wheel. LKA uses a
camera to detect lane markings
between 60 km/h (37 mph) and
180 km/h (112 mph).

aid with parking and low-speed
backing maneuvers.
See Assistance Systems for Parking
or Backing on page 9-49.
Rear Cross Traffic Alert
(RCTA) System

a triangle with an arrow displayed
on the RVC screen to warn of traffic
behind your vehicle that may cross
your vehicle's path while in
R (Reverse). In addition, beeps will
sound, or the driver seat will pulse.
See Assistance Systems for Parking
or Backing on page 9-49.
Parking Assist
If equipped, Rear Parking
Assist (RPA) uses sensors on the
rear bumper to assist with parking
and avoiding objects while in
R (Reverse). It operates at speeds
less than 8 km/h (5 mph). RPA may
display a warning triangle on the
Rear Vision Camera screen and a
graphic on the instrument cluster to
provide the object distance. In
addition, multiple beeps or seat
pulses may occur if very close to an
object. The vehicle may also have the Front
Parking Assist system.

Assistance Systems for Parking
or Backing on page 9-49.

If the vehicle has Adaptive Cruise
Control (ACC) it also has the Rear
Automatic Braking (RAB) system,
which is designed to help avoid or
reduce the harm caused by backing
crashes when the vehicle is shifted
into R (Reverse). If the system
detects the vehicle is backing too
fast to avoid a crash with a detected
object behind your vehicle in your
path, it may automatically brake
hard to a stop.
See Assistance Systems for Parking
or Backing on page 9-49.
