Detecting Sensor
The rear corner radars are the sen-
sors inside the rear bumper for
detecting the side/rear areas. Always
keep the rear bumper clean for prop-
er operation of the system.
✽NOTICE
• The system may not work proper-ly when the bumper has been
damaged, or if the rear bumper
has been replaced or repaired.
• The sensing range differs some- what according to the width of the
road. When the road is narrow,
the system may detect other vehi-
cles in the next lane.
• The system may turn off due to strong electromagnetic waves.
• Always keep the sensor clean.
• NEVER arbitrarily disassemble the sensor component nor apply
any impact on the sensor compo-
nent.
• Be careful not to apply unneces- sary force on the radar sensor or
sensor cover. If the sensor is
forcibly moved out of proper
alignment, the system may not
operate correctly. In this case, a
warning message may not be dis-
played. (Continued)CAUTION
• The driver should always use
extreme caution while operat-ing the vehicle, whether or notthe warning light on the out-side rearview mirror illumi-nates or there is a warningalarm.
• Playing the vehicle audio sys- tem at high volume may offsetBlind-Spot Collision Warningwarning sounds.
• The warning of the Blind-Spot Collision Warning may notsound while other system'swarning sounds.

✽NOTICE
• If the vehicle is turned off then onagain, RCCW returns to the previ-
ous state.
• When the system is turned on, the warning light will illuminate for 3
seconds on the outside rearview
mirror.
The system will activate when:
1. RCCW is on.
2. The vehicle speed is below 6 mph
(10 km/h) with the shift lever in R
(Reverse).
3. Other vehicles are detected in Rear Cross-Traffic Collision
Warning Range.Warning message

Driving your vehicle
If the vehicle detected by the sensors
approaches from the rear left/right
side of your vehicle, the warning
chime will sound, the warning light
on the outside rearview mirror will
blink and a message will appear on
the LCD display. If the rear view mon-
itor system is in activation, a mes-
sage will also appear on the
‘Infortainment System’.
The warning will stop when:
- The vehicle moving at the rearleft/right side of your vehicle is not
in the detection range.
- The vehicle is right behind your vehicle.
- The vehicle is not driving towards your vehicle.
- The vehicle’s approaching speed is decreased.✽NOTICE
• When the operation condition ofRCCW is met, the warning will
occur every time a vehicle
approaches the side or rear of
your stopped (0 mph (0 km/h)
vehicle speed) vehicle.
• The system's warning or brake may not operate properly if the
left or right of your vehicle's rear
bumper is blocked by a vehicle or
obstacle.
• The driver should always use extreme caution while operating
the vehicle, whether or not the
warning light on the outer side
view mirror illuminates or there is
a warning alarm.
• Playing the vehicle audio system at high volume may prevent occu-
pants from hearing the system's
warning sounds.
• If any other warning sound such as seat belt warning chime is
already generated, the RCCW
warning may not sound.WARNING
• Drive safely even though the
vehicle is equipped with Rear
Cross-Traffic Collision
Warning. Do not solely rely on
the system but check your
surrounding when backing
the vehicle up.
• The driver is responsible for accurate brake control.
• Always pay extreme caution while driving. Rear Cross-
Traffic Collision Warning may
not operate properly or
unnecessarily operate
depending on traffic and driv-
ing conditions.

Non-operating condition
Outside rearview mirror may not
alert the driver when:
- The outside rearview mirror hous-ing is damaged or covered with
debris.
- The window is covered with debris.
- The windows are severely tinted.
- The mirror is covered with dirt, snow, or debris.
Limitations of the system
The driver must be cautious in the
below situations, because the sys-
tem may not detect other vehicles or
objects in certain circumstances.
• When a trailer or carrier isinstalled.
• The vehicle drives in inclement weather such as heavy rain or
snow.
• The sensor is polluted with rain, snow, mud, etc.
• The rear bumper where the sensor is located is covered with a foreign
object such as a bumper sticker, a
bumper guard, a bike rack, etc.
• The rear bumper is damaged, or the sensor is out of the original
default position.
• The vehicle height gets lower or higher due to heavy loading in a
liftgate, abnormal tire pressure,
etc.
• When the temperature of the rear bumper is high. • When the sensors are blocked by
other vehicles, walls or parking-lot
pillars.
• The vehicle drives on a curved road.
• The road pavement (or the periph- eral ground) abnormally contains
metallic components (i.e. possibly
due to subway construction).
• There is a fixed object near the vehicle, such as a guardrail.
• While going down or up a steep road where the height of the lane is
different.
• Driving on a narrow road where trees or grass or overgrown.
• Driving in rural areas where the sensor does not detect another
vehicle for an extended period of
time.
• Driving on a wet road.
• Driving on a road where the guardrail or wall is in double structure.
• A big vehicle is near such as a bus or truck.
• When the other vehicle approaches very close.

Driving at night
Because night driving presents more
hazards than driving in the daylight,
here are some important tips to
remember:
• Slow down and keep more dis-tance between you and other vehi-
cles, as it may be more difficult to
see at night, especially in areas
where there may not be any street
lights. • Adjust your mirrors to reduce the
glare from other driver's head-
lights.
• Keep your headlights clean and properly aimed. (On vehicles not
equipped with the automatic head-
light aiming feature.) Dirty or
improperly aimed headlights will
make it much more difficult to see
at night.
• Avoid staring directly at the head- lights of oncoming vehicles. You
could be temporarily blinded, and it
will take several seconds for your
eyes to readjust to the darkness.
Driving in the rain
Rain and wet roads can make driving
dangerous, especially if you’re not
prepared for the slick pavement.
Here are a few things to consider
when driving in the rain:

Driving your vehicle
Driving with a trailer
Towing a trailer requires a certain
amount of experience. Before setting
out for the open road, you must get
to know your trailer. Acquaint your-
self with the feel of handling and
braking with the added weight of the
trailer. And always keep in mind that
the vehicle you are driving is now a
good deal longer and not nearly so
responsive as your vehicle is by
itself.
Before you start, check the trailer
hitch and platform, safety chains,
electrical connector(s), lights, tires
and mirror adjustment. If the trailer
has electric brakes, start your vehicle
and trailer moving and then apply the
trailer brake controller by hand to be
sure the brakes are working. This lets
you check your electrical connection
at the same time.
During your trip, check occasionally
to be sure that the load is secure,
and that the lights and any trailer
brakes are still working.
Following distance
Stay at least twice as far behind the
vehicle ahead as you would when
driving your vehicle without a trailer.
This can help you avoid situations
that require heavy braking and sud-
den turns.
Passing
You’ll need more passing distance
up ahead when you’re towing a trail-
er. And, because of the increased
vehicle length, you’ll need to go
much farther beyond the passed
vehicle before you can return to your
lane. Due to the added load to the
engine when going uphill the vehicle
may also take longer to pass than it
would on flat ground.
Backing up
Hold the bottom of the steering
wheel with one hand. Then, to move
the trailer to the left, just move your
hand to the left. To move the trailer to
the right, move your hand to the
right. Always back up slowly and, if
possible, have someone guide you.
Making turns
When you’re turning with a trailer,
make wider turns than normal. Do
this so your trailer won’t strike soft
shoulders, curbs, road signs, trees,
or other objects near the edge of the
road. Avoid jerky or sudden maneu-
vers. Signal well in advance before
turning or lane changes.
