Rear Cross Traffic Alert is designed to help you back out of spaces where you may not see approaching traffic, as sometimes happens in parking lots. Rear cross traffic alert monitors two areas behind you for vehicles approaching from the right or left.
Rear cross traffic alert is active once the vehicle is shifted into REVERSE. When backing, you will receive a visual or auditory warning if an approaching vehicle enters the rear cross traffic alert detection areas. The visual warning may appear on the dashboard, rear view mirror, or side mirror. For example, if traffic approaches from the right, the light will appear on the right side of the dashboard or rearview mirror, or the right-side mirror.
