NOTICE  
The following can damage the driveline:  
Depressing the accelerator and brake pedals  
simultaneously.  
Changing to (P before the vehicle stops  
completely.  
When facing uphill, do not hold the vehicle by  
depressing the accelerator pedal.

slope or block the wheels to keep the vehicle from  
moving. If you do not take either precaution, the  
vehicle may roll unexpectedly, leading to a crash.

CAUTION  
The system is convenient when you are backing out of a parking space.  
Cross Traffic Monitor cannot detect all  
approaching vehicles and may not detect  
an approaching vehicle at all.  
Failure to visually confirm that it is safe to  
back up the vehicle before doing so may  
result in a collision.  
Do not solely rely on the system when  
reversing; always also use your mirrors, and  
look behind and to the sides of your vehicle  
before reversing.

1Cross Traffic Monitor*  
How the System Works  
Cross Traffic Monitor may not detect or may delay  
alerting an approaching vehicle, or may alert without  
an approaching vehicle under the following  
conditions:  
An obstacle, such as another vehicle and a wall,  
near your vehicle’s rear bumper, is blocking the  
radar sensor’s scope.  
Your vehicle is moving at the speed of about 3 mph  
(5 km/h) or higher.  
A vehicle is approaching at the speed other than  
between about 6 mph (10 km/h) and 16 mph (25  
km/h).  
The system picks up external interference such as  
other radar sensors from another vehicle or strong  
radio wave transmitted from a facility nearby.  
Either corner of the rear bumper is covered with  
snow, ice, mud or dirt.  
When there is bad weather.  
Your vehicle is on an incline.  
The system activates when:  
The power mode is in ON.  
The Cross Traffic Monitor system is turned  
on.

The transmission is in (R.  
Your vehicle is moving at 3 mph (5 km/h) or  
lower.  
Radar sensors:  
Underneath the rear bumper  
corners  
When a vehicle is detected approaching from a rear corner, Cross Traffic Monitor  
alerts you with a buzzer and a displayed warning.  
Your vehicle is tilted due to a heavy load in the rear.  
Your vehicle is reversing towards a wall, a pole, a  
vehicle, and so on.  
The system will not detect a vehicle that approaches from directly behind your  
vehicle, nor will it provide alerts about a detected vehicle when it moves directly  
behind your vehicle.  
The rear bumper or the sensors have been improperly  
repaired or the rear bumper has been deformed.  
Have your vehicle checked by a dealer.  
The system does not detect or provide alerts for a vehicle that is moving away from  
your vehicle, and it may alert for pedestrians, bicycles, or stationary objects.  
For proper operation, always keep the rear bumper  
corner area clean.  
Do not cover the rear bumper corner area with labels  
or stickers of any kind.
