Cross Traffic Monitor*  
1Cross Traffic Monitor*  
Monitors the rear corner areas using the radar sensors when reversing, and alerts  
you if a vehicle approaching from a rear corner is detected.  
3WARNING  
Cross traffic monitor cannot detect all  
approaching vehicles and may not detect  
an approaching vehicle at all.  
The system is convenient especially when you are getting out of a parking space  
backwards.  
Failure to visually confirm that it is safe to  
back up the vehicle before doing so may  
result in a collision.  
Do not solely rely on the system when  
reversing; always also use your mirrors, and  
look behind and to the sides of your vehicle  
before reversing.  
The parking sensor system’s alerting buzzer overrides  
the cross traffic monitor buzzer when the sensors are  
detecting obstacles at the closest range.

near your vehicle’s rear bumper, is blocking the  
radar sensor’s scope.  
β€’ Your vehicle is moving at the speed of about 5  
km/h (3 mph) or higher.

other radar sensors from another vehicle or strong  
radio wave transmitted from a facility nearby.

vehicle, nor will it provide alerts about a detected vehicle when it moves directly  
behind your vehicle.  
For proper operation, always keep the rear bumper  
corner area clean.  
Do not cover the rear bumper corner area with labels  
or stickers of any kind.  
The system does not detect or provide alerts for a vehicle that is moving away from  
your vehicle, and it may detect or alert for pedestrians, bicycles, or stationary  
objects.
