BCI SYSTEM OPERATION
When the shift lever is placed in R (Reverse)
position, the BCI ON appears in the vehicle infor-
mation display.
If the radar detects an approaching vehicle from
the side, the system chimes a sound (single
beep) , the Blind Spot Warning indicator light on
the side of the approaching vehicle flashes and a
yellow rectangular frame appears in display
A.NOTE:
●In the case of several vehicles approaching
in a row (Illustration 1) or in the opposite
direction (Illustration 2) , a chime may not be
sounded by the BCI system after the first
vehicle passes the sensors.

BCI SYSTEM LIMITATIONSWARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions for proper use of the BCI system
could result in serious injury or death.●Always check surroundings and turn to
check what is behind you before back-
ing up. The radar sensors detect ap-
proaching (moving) vehicles. The radar
sensors cannot detect every object such
as:
– Pedestrians, bicycles, motorcycles,
animals or child operated toy
vehicles
– A vehicle that is passing at speeds
greater than approximately 15 mph
(24 km/h)
●The radar sensors may not detect ap-
proaching vehicles in certain situations:
– Illustration a: When a vehicle parked
next to you obstructs the beam of the
radar sensor.
– Illustration b: When the vehicle is
parked in an angled parking space.
– Illustration c: When the vehicle is
parked on inclined ground.
– Illustration d: When an approaching
vehicle turns into your vehicle’s park-
ing lot aisle.

– Illustration e: When the angle formed
by your vehicle and approaching ve-
hicle is small.
●The following conditions may reduce
the ability of the radar to detect other
vehicles:
– Severe weather
– Road spray
– Ice build up on the vehicle
– Frost build up on the vehicle
– Dirt up on the vehicle
●Do not attach stickers (including trans-
parent material) , install accessories or
apply additional paint near the radar
sensors. These conditions may reduce
the ability of the radar to detect other
vehicles.
●The sonar sensors detect stationary ob-
jects behind the vehicle. The sonar sen-
sor may not detect:
– Small or moving objects
– Wedge-shaped objects
– Object close to the bumper (less than
approximately 1 ft (30 cm))– Thin objects such as rope, wire and
chain, etc.
●The brake engagement by the BCI sys-
tem is not as effective on a slope as it is
on flat ground. When on a steep slope
the system may not function properly.
●Do not use the BCI system under the
following conditions because the sys-
tem may not function properly:
– When driving with a tire that is not
within normal tire conditions (e.g.
tire wear, low tire pressure, installa-
tion of spare tire, tire chains, non-
standard wheels) .
– When the vehicle is equipped with
non-original brake parts or suspen-
sion parts.
●Do not use the BCI systems when tow-
ing a trailer.
●Excessive noise (e.g. audio system vol-
ume, open vehicle window) will inter-
fere with the chime sound, and it may
not be heard.SYSTEM TEMPORARILY NOT
AVAILABLE
If the following messages appear on the vehicle
information display, a chime will sound and the
BCI system will be turned off automatically.
●“Unavailable High Accelerator Temp.”:
If the vehicle is parked in direct sunlight
under high temperature conditions (over ap-
proximately 104°F (40°C)) and then started,
the BCI system may be deactivated auto-
matically and the “Unavailable High Accel-
erator Temp” message will appear in the
vehicle information display for a period of
time.
When the interior temperature is reduced,
turn off the BCI system and turn it on again.
●“Unavailable Side Radar Obstruction”:
When side radar blockage is detected.
When the blockage is removed, turn off the
BCI system and turn it on again.

1. Side BSW/RCTA Indicator Light
2. BSW/RCTA Indicator
RCTA SYSTEM OPERATION
The RCTA system can help alert the driver of an
approaching vehicle when the driver is backing
out of a parking space.
When the shift position is in R (Reverse) and the
vehicle speed is less than approximately 5 mph
(8 km/h), the RCTA system is operational.
If the radar detects an approaching vehicle from
either side, the system chimes (once) and the
side BSW/RCTA indicator light flashes on the
side the vehicle is approaching from.
The RCTA system uses radar sensors
1in-
stalled on both sides near the rear bumper to
detect an approaching vehicle.
The radar sensors
1can detect an approaching
vehicle from up to approximately 66 ft (20 m)
away.

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions for proper use of the ICC system
could result in serious injury or death.
●The ICC system is only an aid to assist
the driver and is not a collision warning
or avoidance device. It is the driver’s
responsibility to stay alert, drive safely
and be in control of the vehicle at all
times..
●Always observe posted speed limits
and do not set the speed over them.
●Always drive carefully and attentively
when using the ICC system. Read and
understand the Owner’s Manual thor-
oughly before using the ICC system. To
avoid serious injury or death, do not rely
on the system to prevent accidents or to
control the vehicle’s speed in emer-
gency situations. Do not use the ICC
system except in appropriate road and
traffic conditions.The ICC system is intended to enhance the op-
eration of the vehicle when following a vehicle
traveling in the same lane and direction.
The ICC system uses a radar sensor
Alocated
on the front of the vehicle to detect vehicles
traveling ahead.
If the radar sensor detects a slower moving ve-
hicle ahead, the system will reduce the vehicle
speed so that your vehicle follows the vehicle in
front at the selected distance.
The detection range of the sensor is approxi-
mately 390 ft (120 m) ahead.
