Safe Exit Assist (SEA)

SAFE EXIT ASSIST (SEA)*

SEA can warn passengers from opening their door by sounding an audible warning, a warning light in the sideview mirror and a warning on the Instrument Cluster when a vehicle is detected, approaching from behind, after your vehicle has stopped.

SEA is designed to keep the sliding doors closed if the system detects a vehicle approaching the blind spot area, even if the sliding door release is pressed.**

SEA Settings:
  • SEA can be turned on/off by going to the Vehicle Settings in the Infotainment System
  • Only adjust settings when the vehicle is at a standstill, gear shift is in Park and the ignition is on or the Engine Start/Stop button is in the ON position
  • To access Vehicle Settings in the Infotainment System – Press the SETUP key or the onscreen SETUP button. Press VEHICLE to enter Vehicle Settings. In Driving Safety, select SAFE EXIT

Quick Tips:

  • To adjust the WARNING VOLUME: Press the SETUP button to go to VEHICLE SETTINGS on the Infotainment System. Press VEHICLE, DRIVER ASSISTANCE, and under WARNING METHODS, you can adjust WARNING VOLUME, and turn DRIVER SAFETY PRIORITY on or off.
  • Adjusting the Warning Timing and Warning Methods or Volume will adjust settings for other driver assistance systems
