zone from behind in an adjacent lane.
Illustration 2:If the driver activates the turn
signal when another vehicle is in the detection
zone, then the system chimes (twice) and the
side indicator light flashes.
NOTE:
●The radar sensors may not detect vehicles
which are approaching rapidly from behind.
●If the driver activates the turn signal before a
vehicle enters the detection zone, the side
indicator light will flash but no chime will
sound when the other vehicle is detected.

Overtaking another vehicle
Illustration 3:The side indicator light illumi-
nates if you overtake a vehicle and that vehicle
stays in the detection zone for approximately
2 seconds.Illustration 4:If the driver activates the turn
signal while another vehicle is in the detection
zone, then the system chimes (twice) and the
side indicator light flashes.
NOTE:
●When overtaking several vehicles in a row,
the vehicles after the first vehicle may not be
detected if they are traveling close together.
●The radar sensors may not detect slower
moving vehicles if they are passed quickly.●If the driver activates the turn signal before a
vehicle enters the detection zone, the side
indicator light will flash but no chime will
sound when the other vehicle is detected.

NOTE:
●If the driver activates the turn signal before a
vehicle enters the detection zone, the side
indicator light will flash but no chime will
sound when the other vehicle is detected.●The radar sensors may not detect a vehicle
which is traveling at about the same speed
as your vehicle when it enters the detection
zone.

SYSTEM TEMPORARILY
UNAVAILABLE
When radar blockage is detected, the system will
be deactivated automatically. The “Side Radar
Obstruction” warning message will appear and
the BSW/RCTA indicator (white) will blink
Ain
the vehicle information display.
The system is not available until the conditions no
longer exist.
The radar sensors may be blocked by temporary
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.
NOTE:
If the BSW system stops working, the RCTA
system (if so equipped) will also stop work-
ing.
Action to take:
When the above conditions no longer exist, the
system will resume automatically.

Malfunction
If the BSW system malfunctions, it will turn off
automatically. The system malfunction warning
message with the BSW/RCTA indicator (orange)
will appear in the vehicle information display.
NOTE:
If the BSW system stops working, the RCTA
system (if so equipped) will also stop work-
ing.
Action to take:
Stop the vehicle in a safe location, place the
vehicle in the P (Park) position, turn the engine off
and restart the engine. If the message continues
to appear, have the system checked. It is recom-
mended you visit a NISSAN dealer for this ser-
vice.
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The two radar sensors1for the BSW and
RCTA systems are located near the rear bumper.
Always keep the area near the radar sensors
clean.
The radar sensors may be blocked by temporary
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 ma-
terial) , install accessories or apply additional
paint near the radar sensors.
Do not strike or damage the area around the
radar sensors. It is recommended you consult a
NISSAN dealer if the area around the radar sen-
sors is damaged due to a collision.

This device complies with Industry Canada
licence-exempt RSS standard(s) . Opera-
tion is subject to the following two condi-
tions: (1) this device may not cause inter-
ference, and (2) this device must accept any

Frequency bands: 24.05GHz – 24.25GHz
Output power: less than 20 milliwattsWARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions for proper use of the RCTA system
could result in serious injury or death.
●The RCTA system is not a replacement
for proper driving procedures and is not
designed to prevent contact with ve-
hicles or objects. When backing out of a
parking space, always use the side and
rear mirrors and turn and look in the
direction your vehicle will move. Never
rely solely on the RCTA system.
The RCTA system will assist you when backing
out from a parking space. When the vehicle is in
reverse, the system is designed to detect other
vehicles approaching from the right or left of the
vehicle. If the system detects cross traffic, it will
alert you.

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 sensors1in-
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.

HOW TO ENABLE/DISABLE THE
RCTA SYSTEM
Perform the following steps to enable or disable
the RCTA system.
1. Press the
button until “Settings” dis-
plays in the vehicle information display and
then press OK. Use the
button to
select “Driver Assistance”. Then press the
OK button.
2. Select “Blind Spot” and press the OK but-
ton.
When the RCTA system is turned on, the
BSW/RCTA indicator (white) in the vehicle infor-
mation display illuminates.
NOTE:
●The RCTA system is integrated into the
BSW system. There is not a separate selec-
tion in the vehicle information display for the
RCTA system. When the BSW is disabled,
the RCTA system is also disabled.
●When enabling/disabling the system, the
system setting will be retained even if the
engine is restarted.

RCTA SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
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 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 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 a: When a vehicle parked
next to you obstructs the beam of the
radar sensor.
