Safe Exit Assist
The safe exit assist is a system that uses rear side radar sensors installed on the inner side of the rear bumper to help occupants judge if an approaching vehicle or bicycle may collide with a door when exiting, to help reduce the possibility of a collision.
WARNING
■ Cautions regarding the use of the system
●The driver is solely responsible for safe driving. Always drive safely, taking care to observe your surroundings.
●The safe exit assist is a supplementary system that, when the vehicle is stopped, informs occupants of the existence of approaching vehicles and bicycles. As this system alone cannot be used to judge safety, over-reliance on this system
may lead to an accident resulting in death or serious injury. In certain situations, this system
may not function to its fullest extent. Therefore it is necessary for the occupants to visually
check for safety directly and using the mirrors.
