7-21. Reverse Automatic
Braking System (If Equipped)
s07bn
Reverse Automatic Braking is a system
designed to help avoid collisions or reduce
collision damage when reversing the
vehicle. If a wall or an obstacle is detected
in the reversing direction, the system will
notify the driver with a warning sound and
may activate the vehicle’s brakes automatically.
WARNING
. Reverse Automatic Braking is not
a system intended to replace the
driver’s responsibility to check
their surroundings for vehicles or
obstacles to avoid a collision.
. The driver is responsible for driving
safely. Always be sure to
check the surroundings visually
be ready to brake when reversing
the vehicle.
. There are some cases in which
the vehicle cannot avoid collision,
because the system operation
has limitations. The warning
sound or automatic braking may
be delayed or may not operate at
all even when an obstacle is
present.
