Hyundai Tucson: Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist (RCCA) / Rear Cross-Traffic Collision- Avoidance Assist Operation

Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist may warn and control your vehicle depending on the collision risk level.

Collision Warning

To warn you of an approaching vehicle from the rear left or right of your vehicle, the warning light on the side view mirror may blink, a warning message may appear on the instrument cluster, and an audible warning may sound.

When Rear View Monitor is operating, a warning may appear on the infotainment system screen.

Collision warning may operate if:

• You shift the gear to R (Reverse) and your vehicle speed is below 5 mph (8 km/h).
• The approaching vehicle is detected within about 82 feet (25 m) from the left or right of your vehicle.
• The speed of the vehicle approaching from the left or right is above 3 mph (5 km/h).

Information

• If the operating conditions are met, a warning is provided whenever your vehicle approaches from the left or right even though your vehicle speed is 0 mph (0 km/h).
• The images and colors in the instrument cluster may differ depending on the cluster type or theme selected from the settings menu.

Emergency Braking

To warn you of an approaching vehicle from the rear left or right of your vehicle, the warning light on the side view mirror may blink, a warning message may appear on the instrument cluster, and an audible warning may sound.

When Rear View Monitor is operating, a warning may appear on the infotainment system screen.

If a collision is imminent, emergency braking is assisted to help prevent collision with approaching vehicles from the left and right side or your vehicle.

Emergency braking may operate if:

• You shift the gear to R (Reverse) and your vehicle speed is below 5 mph (8 km/h).
• The approaching vehicle is detected within about 5 feet (1.5 m) from the left or right of your vehicle.
• The speed of the vehicle approaching from the left or right is above 3 mph (5 km/h).

WARNING

Braking control ends when:

• The approaching vehicle is out of the detection range.
• The approaching vehicle passes behind your vehicle.
• The approaching vehicle does not continue to drive toward your vehicle.
• The approaching vehicle speed slows down.
• You depress the brake pedal sufficiently in response to the potential hazard detected by the function.

Stopping vehicle and ending brake control

After your vehicle is stopped following an Emergency Braking event, the "Drive carefully" warning message may appear on the instrument cluster.

Depress the brake pedal immediately and check the surroundings.

• Braking control ends about 2 seconds after your vehicle is stopped.
• During Emergency Braking, braking control by Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist may be automatically canceled when you depress the brake pedal with sufficient force.

WARNING

Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist may not operate in all situations and cannot avoid all collisions. To prevent serious injury or death:

• Only change the settings after parking the vehicle at a safe location.
• Always look over your shoulder for possible hazards and make sure it is safe to back up.
• When other system’s warning message appears or audible warning is heard, Rear Cross-Traffic Collision- Avoidance Assist may not warn you.
• You may not hear the audible warning of Rear Cross-Traffic Collision- Avoidance Assist if the surrounding environment is too noisy.
• During Rear Cross-Traffic Collision- Avoidance Assist operation, your vehicle may stop suddenly. Always wear your seatbelt, check your occupants have their seat belts fastened and secure loose objects that may become projectiles.
• Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist may not operate if you apply the brake pedal with sufficient force in response to the potential hazard detected by the system.
• Even if there is an issue with Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist, the vehicle’s braking system operates normally.
• When Rear Cross-Traffic Collision- Avoidance Assist is operating, braking assist is automatically canceled when you depress the accelerator pedal with sufficient force.
• Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist may warn you late or may not warn you depending on the road and driving conditions.
• Control your vehicle at all times. It is your responsibility to operate your vehicle in a safe manner. Do not solely rely on the Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist to avoid a collision. Rather, maintain a safe braking distance, and If needed, reduce your vehicle speed or depress the brake pedal to reduce the driving speed or to stop your vehicle.
• Never attempt to activate Rear Cross- Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist by intentionally driving toward people, animals, objects, or other vehicles.

WARNING

Braking is not assisted and only a warning is provided when:

• The ESC (Electronic Stability Control) warning light is on.
• ESC (Electronic Stability Control) is controlling the brake force to the wheels.

Information

After shifting the gear to R (Reverse), Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist operates once for left or right vehicle's approach.
