SAFE EXIT ASSIST (SEA)*

Safe Exit Assist (SEA) can help prevent passengers from opening their door by sounding an audible warning and displaying a warning message on the Instrument Cluster LCD and outside rear-view mirror when your vehicle has stopped and a vehicle is detected approaching from behind.

In addition, when the electronic child safety lock button is in the LOCK position and a vehicle is detected approaching from behind, the electronic child safety lock button will not unlock even if the driver presses the button to prevent the rear doors from opening.

SEA Settings:

To turn SEA on, go to Vehicle Settings in the infotainment system.
Select DRIVER ASSISTANCE,
Under DRIVING SAFETY, select SAFE EXIT.
