driver braking, but only acts when
the vehicle may not stop in time.
The system, in some situations or
environments, may not brake or
may not brake in time to avoid a
crash. It does not detect children,
pedestrians, bicyclists, animals,
or objects below the bumper or
that are too close or too far from
the vehicle. To prevent injury,
death, or vehicle damage, even
with Rear Automatic Braking,
always check the area around the
vehicle before and while backing.
Pressing the brake pedal after the
vehicle comes to a stop will release
the Rear Automatic Braking. If the
brake pedal is not pressed soon
after the stop, the electric parking
brake may be set. To disengage the
electric parking brake, see Electric
Parking Brake on page 9-28. When
it is safe, pressing the accelerator
pedal firmly at any time will override
the Rear Automatic Braking.
