Technology overview
Assisting reversing out of a parking space with poor visibility
Cross Traffic Monitor reduces the driving burden by detecting vehicles coming close to the rear of the user’s vehicle on either side and urging the driver to show caution in a situation such as reversing out of a parking space.
The system uses millimeter-wave radars fitted inside the rear bumper to detect vehicles coming close to the rear of the user’s vehicle on either side and notifies the driver of the direction from which a vehicle is approaching using sounds and an indicator on the navigation screen.
*Some vehicles may detect vehicles with a multi-view rear camera.
*Vehicles equipped with the Reactive Force Pedal feature will alert the driver using accelerator pedal vibrations.
How it works
STEP1
Millimeter-wave radars detect a vehicle coming close to rear of the user’s vehicle on one side.
*Some vehicles may detect vehicles with a multi-view rear camera.
Detection using millimeter-wave radar
STEP2
The driver is notified of the direction in which an obstacle is close using sounds and an indicator on the navigation screen.
*Vehicles equipped with the Reactive Force Pedal feature will also alert the driver using accelerator pedal vibrations.
The individual functions of the driver-assistive system have limited capabilities (e.g. recognition capability and control capability). Please do not overestimate the capabilities of any function and drive safely while paying constant attention to the vehicle’s surroundings. A system may not work or perform adequately depending on road conditions, weather conditions and vehicle conditions.
Function is not installed in some areas.
Depending on the model and timing of the market launch of the model, descriptions provided on this page and the actual functions available on customers’ vehicles may be different. For the functions available for each vehicle, please check the owners’ manual of the respective vehicle.
