Rear Cross-traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist (RCCA)

Rear Cross-traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist (RCCA)*

Rear Cross-traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist is designed to detect vehicles approaching from the rear left or right while the vehicle is backing up. RCCA warns the driver of a possible collision with a warning message and a warning sound. Also, RCCA may assist with braking to help avoid a collision.

When the rear-corner radar sensors detect approaching vehicles from the rear left or rear right side of the vehicle , RCCA will sound a warning, the warning indicators on the outside rearview mirror will illuminate and a message will appear on the Instrument Cluster and the Infotainment System.

If RCCA detects that the collision risk has increased, RCCA automatically applies the brakes to reduce your speed, potentially helping to minimize the effects of a possible collision.

RCCA is designed to operate under the following conditions:

  • When the gear shift is in Reverse
  • When the vehicle is moving slower than 5 mph
