Driving and Operating
Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)
System
If equipped, Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)
displays a red warning triangle with a left
or right pointing arrow on the infotainment
display to warn of traffic coming from the
left or right. This system detects objects
coming from up to 20 m (65 ft) from the left
or right side of the vehicle. When an object
is detected, either three beeps sound from
the left or right or three Safety Alert Seat
pulses occur on the left or right side,
depending on the direction of the detected
vehicle.
Use caution while backing up when towing
a trailer, as the RCTA detection zones that
extend out from the back of the vehicle do
not move farther back when a trailer is
attached to the vehicle.
Driving With a Trailer
Use caution while backing up when towing
a trailer. The RCTA feature is automatically
disabled when a trailer is attached to the
vehicle.
Rear Cross Traffic Braking (RCTB)
If equipped, the RCTB system shows a
triangle with an arrow on the infotainment
display 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. If a
collision is imminent, RCTB will provide
automatic braking and bring the vehicle to a
full stop to avoid crash.
Turning the Features On or Off
The
X
button on the center stack is used
to turn on or off the Front and Rear Park
Assist, and Backing Warning and Reverse
Automatic Braking (RAB) systems at the
same time. The indicator light next to the
button comes on when the features are on
and turns off when the features have been
disabled.
RCTA can be turned on or off using the
infotainment system. To view available
settings for this feature, touch the Settings

Assistance Systems for Driving
If equipped, when driving the vehicle in a
forward gear, Forward Collision Alert (FCA),
Lane Departure Warning (LDW), Lane Keep
Assist (LKA), Side Blind Zone Alert (SBZA),
Lane Change Alert (LCA), Automatic
Emergency Braking (AEB), and/or the Front
Pedestrian Braking (FPB) System can help to
avoid a crash or reduce crash damage.
Forward Collision Alert (FCA)
System
If equipped, the FCA system may help to
avoid or reduce the harm caused by
front-end crashes. When approaching a
vehicle ahead too quickly, FCA provides a
red flashing alert on the windshield and
rapidly beeps or pulses the driver seat. FCA
also lights an amber visual alert if following
another vehicle much too closely.
FCA detects vehicles within a distance of
approximately 110 m (360 ft) and operates at
all speeds.
