1Side BSW/RCTA Indicator Light
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 sensorsOAin-
stalled on both sides near the rear bumper to
detect an approaching vehicle.
The radar sensors
OAcan detect an ap-
proaching vehicle from up to approximately
66 ft. (20 m) away.

RCTA SYSTEM LIMITATIONSWARNING
Listed below are the system limitations for
the RCTA system. Failure to operate the
vehicle in accordance with these system
limitations could result in serious injury or
death. •
Always check surroundings and turn to
check what is behind you before backing
up. The radar sensors detect approach-
ing (moving) vehicles. The radar sensors
cannot detect every object such as:
– Pedestrians, bicycles, motorcycles,
animals or child-operated toy ve-
hicles
– A vehicle that is passing at speeds
greater than approximately 19 mph
(30 km/h)
– A vehicle that is passing at speeds
lower than approximately 5 mph (8
km/h)
• The radar sensors may not detect ap-
proaching vehicles in certain situations:
– Illustration
OA: When a vehicle
parked next to you obstructs the
beam of the radar sensor.
– Illustration
OB: When the vehicle is
parked in an angled parking space.
– Illustration
OC: When the vehicle is
parked on inclined ground.
– Illustration
OD: When an approaching
vehicle turns into your vehicle's park-
ing lot aisle.
– Illustration
OE: When the angle
formed by your vehicle and ap-
proaching vehicle is small

•The following conditions may reduce the
ability of the radar to detect other ve-
hicles:
– Severe weather
– Road spray
– Ice/frost/snow/dirt build-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
• Excessive noise (e.g., audio system vol-
ume, open vehicle window) will interfere
with the chime sound, and it may not be
heard.
NOTE:
In the case of several vehicles approaching in
a row (Illustration 1) or in the opposite direc-
tion (Illustration 2), a chime may not be
sounded by the RCTA system after the first
vehicle passes the sensors.

SYSTEM TEMPORARILY
UNAVAILABLE
When radar blockage is detected, the system
will be deactivated automatically. The “Un-
available: Side Radar Obstruction” warning
message will appear in the vehicle informa-
tion display.
The systems are not available until the condi-
tions no longer exist.
The radar sensors may be blocked by tempo-
rary ambient conditions such as splashing
water, mist or fog.
The blocked condition may also be caused by
conditions such as ice, snow, frost or dirt
obstructing the radar sensors.
NOTE:
If the BSW system stops working, the RCTA
and BSI systems (if so equipped) will also
stop working.
Action to take
When the above conditions no longer exist,
the system will resume automatically.

Malfunction
When the RCTA system malfunctions, it will
turn off automatically. The system malfunc-
tion warning message will appear in the ve-
hicle information display.
NOTE:
If the BSW system stops working, the RCTA
and BSI systems (if so equipped) will also
stop working.
Action to take
Stop the vehicle in a safe location, push the
park button to engage the P (Park) position,
turn the engine off and restart the engine. If
the message continues to appear, have the
system checked. It is recommended that you
visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.

SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The two radar sensorsO1for the BSW sys-
tem are located near the rear bumper. Always
keep the area near the radar sensors clean.
The radar sensors may be blocked by tempo-
rary ambient conditions such as splashing
water, mist or fog.
The blocked condition may also be caused by
objects such as ice, frost or dirt obstructing
the radar sensors.
Check for and remove objects obstructing
the area around the radar sensors. Do not attach stickers (including transparent
material), install accessories or apply addi-
tional paint near the radar sensors.
Do not strike or damage the area around the
radar sensors. It is recommended that you
visit an INFINITI retailer if the area around
the radar sensors is damaged due to a
collision.
