## NHTSA's summary

CHECK CONTROL MESSAGE CROSSING TRAFFIC WARNING WHILEPARKING: The check control message \(CCM\) "Crossing traffic warning. It is possible to continue driving" can appear when parking. This can occur when the vehicle is parked too close to adjacent solid walls such as a single car garage or an underground parking space. The wall can be on either side of the vehicle regardless if the vehicle is pulled in forwards or backed in. If the customer switches the vehicle off and starts it again immediately the same CCM may occur again.
