REAR \bRO\f\f TRAFFI\b ALERT
(IF EQUIPPED)
REAR CROSS TRAFFIC ALERT (RCTA)
The RCTA is designed to alert the driver of oncoming traffic when backing out of a parking spot. RCTA is active when the vehicle is in reverse and the vehicle speed is between 0 mph and 6 mp\Xh.
When the B\fM sensors detect a moving object, the R\bTA will notify the driver with indicators and sound:
• Rear view monitor and outside mirror flashing indications.
Refer to your Owner’s Manual for complete details.
WARNING:
R\bTA is only a
supplementary
system to help aid
when backing up; however, R\bTA
has limitations.
The system does not detect all
vehicles, especially motorcycles. Do
not rely solely on the R\bTA. Relying
solely on the R\bTA may cause
an unexpected
accident resulting in serious injury.
Always back up slowly.

sound quality than analog broadcasts as digital broadcasts provide free, crystal clear audio.

quality and volume when a chang\.e from digital to analog signals o\.ccurs. If the sound
quality and volume become noticeably diminished or\. cut off, select the HD button to turn HD radio OFF (not red).
