Cross Traffic Monitor Limitations

Cross Traffic Monitor may not detect or may delay alerting an approaching vehicle, or may alert without an approaching vehicle under the following conditions:

  1. An obstacle, such as another vehicle or a wall near your vehicle’s rear bumper, is blocking the radar sensor’s scope.
  2. Your vehicle is moving at a speed of about 3 mph (5 km/h) or higher.
  3. A vehicle is approaching at a speed other than between about 6 and 16 mph (10 and 25 km/h).
  4. The system picks up external interference such as other radar sensors from another vehicle or strong radio wave transmitted from a facility nearby.
  5. Either corner of the rear bumper is covered with snow, ice, mud or dirt.
  6. When there is bad weather.
  7. Your vehicle is on an incline.
  8. Your vehicle is tilted due to a heavy load in the rear.
  9. Your vehicle is reversing toward a wall, a pole, a vehicle, and so on.
  10. Driving on snowy or slippery roads.

If the rear bumper or the sensors have been improperly repaired or the rear bumper has been deformed, have the vehicle checked by a dealer.

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.
