Rear Collision Warning
The Rear Collision Warning (RCW) function can help the driver avoid rear-end collisions from vehicles approaching from behind.
RCW is automatically activated each time the engine is started.
RCW can warn the driver of a potential collision with vehicles approaching from behind by rapidly flashing the turn signals.
If, at a speed below 30 km/h (20 mph), the RCW function detects that the car is in danger of being hit from behind, the seatbelt tensioners may tension the front seatbelts and activate the Whiplash Protection System safety system.
Immediately before a collision from behind, RCW may also activate the foot brake in order to reduce the forward acceleration of the car during the collision. However, the brakes will only be applied if your vehicle is stationary. The brakes will be immediately released if the accelerator pedal is depressed.
