Rear Collision Warning*1
The Rear Collision Warning2 (RCW) function can help the driver avoid rear-end collisions from vehicles approaching from behind.
The function can alert drivers of following vehicles of the risk of a collision by rapidly flashing the turn signals.
The Whiplash Protection System safety system will also be activated in a collision.
The function is automatically activated each time the engine is started.
