REAR CROSS-TRAFFIC COLLISION-AVOIDANCE ASSIST (RCCA)*

Rear Cross-traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist (RCCA) is designed to warn the driver under certain conditions. It may temporarily apply braking if it detects cross traffic approaching the vehicle when the vehicle is in reverse. 

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 is designed to automatically apply the brakes to reduce your speed, potentially helping to minimize the effects of a possible collision. 

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 
  • Adjusting the Warning Methods or Volume will adjust settings for other driver assistance systems
