What Is Reverse Brake Assist?

Reverse Brake Assist can help reduce or avoid a collision when backing up by automatically applying the brakes when the system detects an object in the vehicle’s path.*

How it works

• Reverse Brake Assist utilizes radar sensors on the rear bumper to detect objects and help reduce or avoid a collision.
• The system is active when the vehicle is in Reverse and traveling at a speed above 1 mph but below 7 mph.
• A message and warning indicator will appear when the system automatically applies the brakes.
