●When there is a rut or hole in the surface
of the road
●When driving on a metal cover (grating),
such as those used for drainage ditches
●When driving up or down a steep slope
●If a sensor is hit by a large amount of
water, such as when driving on a flooded
road
●There is dirt, snow, water drops or ice on
a sensor. (Cleaning the sensors will
resolve this problem.)
●A sensor is coated with a sheet of spray
or heavy rain
●When driving in inclement weather such
as fog, snow or a sandstorm
●When strong winds are blowing
●When vehicle horns, vehicle detectors,
motorcycle engines, air brakes of large
vehicles, the clearance sonar of other
vehicles or other devices which produce
ultrasonic waves are near the vehicle
●If the front of the vehi cle is raised or low-
ered due to the carried load
●If the orientation of a sensor has been
changed due to a collision or other
impact
●The vehicle is approaching a tall or
curved curb
●Driving close to columns (H-shaped steel
beams, etc.) in multi-story parking
garages, construction sites, etc.
●If the vehicle cannot be driven in a stable
manner, such as when the vehicle has
been in an accident or is malfunctioning
●On an extremely bumpy road, on an
incline, on gravel, or on grass
●When a tire chains, compact spare tire or
an emergency tire punc ture repair kit is
used
■Detection range of the sensors
Approximately 3.3 ft. (100 cm)
Approximately 4.9 ft. (150 cm)
Approximately 2.0 ft. (60 cm)
The diagram shows the detection range of
the sensors. Note that the sensors cannot
detect objects that are extremely close to
the vehicle.
The range of the sensors may change
depending on the shap e of the object, etc.

■Multi-information display, head-up display (if equipped) and Center Display
When an object is detected by a sensor, the approximate distance to the object will
be displayed on the multi-in formation display, Center Di splay, and head-up display
(if equipped). (As the distan ce to the object becomes sh ort, the distance segments
may blink.)

■Buzzer operation and distance to
an object
A buzzer sounds when the sensors are
operating.
 The buzzer beeps faster as the vehi-
cle approaches an object. When the
vehicle comes within the following
distance of the object, the buzzer
sounds continuously:
Approximately 1.0 ft. (30 cm)
When 2 or more objects are
detected simultaneously, the buzzer
sounds for the nearest object. If one
or more objects come within
approximately 1.0 ft. (30 cm) of the
vehicle, the buzzer will repeat a long
tone, followed by fast beeps.
 Automatic buzzer mute function: After a buzzer begins sounding, if
the distance between the vehicle
and the detected object does not
become shorter, the buzzer will be
muted automatically. (However, if
the distance between the vehicle
and object is 1.0 ft. (30 cm) or less,
this function will not operate.)
The buzzer sounds volume can be
adjusted. ( P.236)

RCTA (Rear cross traffic
alert) function
*
The RCTA function uses the BSM
rear side radar sensors installed
behind the rear bumper. This func-
tion is intended to assist the driver
in checking areas that are not easily
visible when backing up.
WARNING
■Cautions regarding the use of the
function
There is a limit to the degree of recogni-
tion accuracy and control performance
that this system can provide, do not
overly rely on this system. The driver is
always responsible for paying attention
to the vehicle’s surro undings and driving
safely. ( P.232)

bumper around the se nsors to return the
function to normal.
Additionally, the func tion may not operate
normally when driving in extremely hot or
cold environments.
■Rear side radar sensors
P.233
■Operation of the RCTA function
The RCTA function uses rear side radar sensors to detect vehicles approaching
from the right or left at the rear of the ve hicle and alerts the driver of the presence
of such vehicles by flashing the outside rear view mirror indicators and sounding a
buzzer.

2484-5. Using the driving support systems
The buzzer can alert the driver of
faster vehicles approaching from far-
ther away.
Example:
■The RCTA function is operational when
The RCTA function operates when all of the
following conditions are met:
●The engine switch is in IGNITION ON
mode.
●The RCTA function is on.
●The shift lever is in R.
●The vehicle speed is approximately 5
mph (8 km/h) or less.
●The approaching vehicle speed is
between approximately 5 mph (8 km/h)
and 18 mph (28 km/h).
■Setting the buzzer volume
The buzzer volume can be adjusted on the
multi-information display. ( P.236)
Use the meter control switches to change
settings. ( P.80)
■Conditions under which the system will
not detect a vehicle
The RCTA function is not designed to
detect the following types of vehicles and/or objects:
●Vehicles approaching from directly
behind
●Vehicles backing up in a parking space
next to your vehicle
●Vehicles that the sensors cannot detect
due to obstructions
●Guardrails, walls, signs, parked vehicles
and similar stationary objects*
●Small motorcycles, bicycles, pedestrians,
etc.*
●Vehicles moving away from your vehicle
●Vehicles approaching from the parking
spaces next to your vehicle*
●The distance between the sensor and
approaching vehicle gets too close
*: Depending on the conditions, detection
of a vehicle and/or object may occur.
■Situations in which the system may not
operate properly
The RCTA function may not detect vehicles
correctly in the following situations:
●When the sensor is misaligned due to a
strong impact to the sensor or itssur-
rounding area
●When mud, snow, ice, a sticker, etc., is
covering the sensor or surrounding area

2524-5. Using the driving support systems
The Parking Support Brake can be
enabled/disabled on the multi-informa-
tion display. All of the Parking Support
Brake functions (static objects and
rear-crossing vehicles) are
enabled/disabled simultaneously.
Use the meter control switches to enable/disable the parking support
brake. (
P.80)
1 Press or to select .
2 Press or to select
and then press .
When the Parking Support Brake is dis-
abled, the PKSB OFF indicator ( P.70)
illuminates on the multi-information dis-
play.
To re-enable the system when it was dis-
abled, select on the multi-information
display, select and turn it on. If the
system is disabled, it wi ll remain off even if
the engine switch is turned to IGNITION
ON mode after the engine switch has
been turned off.
If the engine output restriction control or
brake control operates, a buzzer will sound
and a message will be displayed on the
Center Display and multi-information dis-
play, to alert the driver. On vehicles with a
head-up display, the head-up display (if
equipped) will displa y the same message
as the multi-information display.
Depending on the situat ion, engine output
restriction control will operate to either
limit acceleration or restrict output as
much as possible.
 Engine output restriction control is
operating (acceleration restriction)
Acceleration greater than a certain
amount is restricted by the system.
Center Display (Panoramic view monitor)
(If equipped): No warning displayed
Multi-information display: “Object
Detected Acceleration Reduced”
WARNING
●When using automatic car washing
devices
●If the vehicle cannot be driven in a sta-
ble manner, such as when the vehicle
has been in an accident or is malfunc-
tioning
●When the vehicle is driven in a sporty
manner or off-road
●When the tires are not properly
inflated
●When the tires are very worn
●When a tire chains, compact spare tire
or an emergency tire puncture repair
kit is used
NOTICE
■If “Parking Support Brake Unavail-
able” is displayed on the multi-infor-
mation display and the PKSB OFF
indicator is flashing
If this message is displayed immediately
after the engine switch is changed to
IGNITION ON mode, operate the vehi-
cle carefully, paying attention to your
surroundings. It ma y be necessary to
drive the vehicle for a certain amount of
time before the system returns to normal.
(If the system is not return to normal after
driving for a while, clean the sensors and
their surrounding area on the bumpers.)
