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.

(moving) vehicles. The radar sensors can-
not detect every object such as:
–Pedestrians, bicycles, motorcycles,
animals or child-operated toy vehicles
– A vehicle that is passing at speedsgreater 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

– 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/frost/snow build-up on the vehicle
– 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 inter-
fere 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
direction (Illustration 2) , a chime may not
be sounded by the RCTA system after the
first vehicle passes the sensors.
