Intelligent Back-up Intervention
Assists the driver in avoiding collisions with approaching vehicles and obstacles when reversing
This system alerts the driver with a visual and audible warning when there is the risk of collision with an object behind the vehicle or with a vehicle approaching from the side. If the driver attempts to reverse further under those conditions, then in addition to the initial visual and audible warning, the system automatically activates the brakes for a moment to help the driver prevent a collision.
System operation
If the driver attempts to reverse when a vehicle is approaching from the side or an obstacle is detected behind the vehicle, the system initially activates a visual and audible alert. If the driver does not apply the brakes, the system automatically activates the brakes temporarily to help the driver avoid a collision with the approaching vehicle or obstacle.

When
the
shift
lever
is
in
the
R
position
and
the
sonar
sensors
or
radar
sensors
detect
in
the
vehicle's
direction
of
travel
an
obstacle
or
a
vehicle
approaching
from
the
side;
the
system
alerts
the
driver
as
follows:
- When an obstacle is detected: A display is shown and audible warning played.
- When an approaching vehicle is detected: An audible warning is played, and the door mirror indicator lamp on the side of the approaching vehicle flashes.At the same time, a yellow rectangular frame appears on the center display unit.
-
If
the
driver
attempts
to
reverse
when
a
vehicle
is
approaching
from
the
side
or
an
obstacle
is
detected
behind
the
vehicle,
the
system
activates
the
follows
in
order
to
help
the
driver
avoid
a
collision:
- An audible warning is played (3 times), and a red rectangular frame appears on the center display unit.
- At the same time, the system automatically applies the brakes (for a moment).
- If the driver is depressing the accelerator pedal when the system activates, the accelerator pedal is pressed back upwards, and the driver is warned to switch to the brake pedal. At the same time, the system activates the brakes to help the driver avoid a collision.
- This function operates when the vehicle speed is approximately 8 km/h or less.
System mechanism
Radar sensors installed on both sides near the rear bumper (① in the figure) detect vehicles crossing from the side. Sonar sensors installed along the rear of the vehicle (② in the figure) detect obstacles in the rearward direction.
If
the
driver
attempts
to
reverse
when
an
obstacle,
or
a
vehicle
approaching
from
the
side
is
detected
in
the
vehicle’s
travel
direction,
the
system
uses
brake
actuator
to
slow
down
the
vehicle.
If
the
driver
is
depressing
the
accelerator
pedal,
the
accelerator
pedal
actuator
presses
the
pedal
back
upwards
to
assist
the
driver
with
releasing
the
accelerator
pedal.
