Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) detects vehicles or other objects approaching behind when parked to further warn the driver with audible and visual confirmation.
The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) feature can monitor the presence of other vehicles in front and maintain a safe distance from them so it is very effective when cruising on toll roads. Lastly, Front Departure Alert (FDA) provides an audible warning when the car in front suddenly reverses while queuing in a traffic jam to prevent a collision.
