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 BSW/RCTA indicator
light flashes.
NOTE:
• When overtaking several vehicles in a row, the vehicles af ter the first vehicle
may not be detected if they are travel-
ing 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 BSW/RCTA indicator
light will flash but no chime will sound
when the other vehicle is detected.

SYSTEM TEMPORARILY DISABLED
When radar blockage is detected, the sys-
tem will be deactivated automatically. The
“Unavailable: Side Radar Obstruction”
warning message will appear and the
BSW/RCTA indicator (white) will blink
OAin
the vehicle information display.
The system is not available until the condi-
tions no longer exist.
The radar sensors may be blocked by tem-
porary ambient conditions such as splash-
ing water, mist or fog. The blocked condi-
tion 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 system will also stop working.
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 indi-
cator (orange) will appear in the vehicle in-
formation display.
NOTE:
If the BSW system stops working, the
RCTA system will also stop working.
Action to take:
Stop the vehicle in a safe location, place the
vehicle in the P (Park) position, turn the en-
gine off and restart the engine. If the mes-
sage continues to appear, have the system
checked. It is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN dealer for this service.
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The two radar sensorsO1for the BSW and
RCTA systems are located near the rear
bumper. Always keep the area near the ra-
dar sensors clean.
The radar sensors may be blocked by tem-
porary ambient conditions such as splash-
ing water, mist or fog.
The blocked condition may also be caused
by objects such as ice, frost or dirt ob-
structing the radar sensors.
Check for and remove objects obstructing
the area around the radar sensors. Do not attach stickers (including transpar-
ent material), install accessories or apply
additional paint near the radar sensors.
Do not strike or damage the area around
the radar sensors. It is recommended that
you visit a NISSAN dealer if the area around
the radar sensors is damaged due to a
collision.

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and in-
structions for proper use of the RCTA
system could result in serious injury or
death.
• The RCTA system is not a replace-
ment for proper driving procedures
and is not designed to prevent con-
tact with vehicles or objects. When
backing out of a parking space, al-
ways use the side and rear mirrors
and turn and look in the direction
your vehicle will move. Never rely
solely on the RCTA system.
• Do not use the RCTA system when
towing a trailer. The system may not
function properly.
The RCTA system will assist you when
backing out from a parking space. When
the vehicle is in reverse, the system is de-
signed to detect other vehicles approach-
ing from the right or lef t of the vehicle. If the
system detects cross traffic, it will alert you.

REAR CROSS TRAFFIC ALERT (RCTA)
Starting and driving5-41

The RCTA system can help alert the driver
of an approaching vehicle when the driver
is backing out of a parking space.
When the shif t position is in R (Reverse) and
the vehicle speed is less than approxi-
mately 5 mph (8 km/h), the RCTA system is
operational.
If the radar detects an approaching vehicle
from the side, the system chimes a sound
(single beep) and the side BSW/RCTA indi-
cator light on the side of the vehicle is ap-
proaching from flashes.The RCTA system uses radar sensors
O1
installed on both sides near the rear bum-
per to detect an approaching vehicle.
The radar sensors
O1can detect an ap-
proaching vehicle from up to approxi-
mately 66 f t (20 m) away.

HOW TO ENABLE/DISABLE THE
RCTA SYSTEM
When the RCTA system is enabled in the
vehicle information display, the system can
be turned off temporarily by pushing the
Front and rear sonar system OFF switch.
For additional information, see “Parking
Aids system switch” (P. 2-63).
Perform the following steps to enable or
disable the RCTA system:
1. Press the
button until “Settings” dis-
plays in the vehicle information display.
Use the
button to select “Driver As-
sistance” and press ENTER.
2. Select “Parking Aids” and press ENTER.
3. Select “CTA” and press the ENTER button to turn system on or off.
4. Push the Parking Aids system switch to turn the system on or off.
NOTE:
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 seri-
ous injury or death.•
Always check surroundings and turn
to check what is behind you before
backing up. The radar sensors detect
approaching (moving) vehicles. The
radar sensors cannot detect every
object such as:
– Pedestrians, bicycles, motor-
cycles, 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
approaching vehicles in certain situ-
ations:
– 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 ap-
proaching vehicle turns into your
vehicle's parking lot aisle.
LSD3195
5-44Starting and driving

–IllustrationOE: 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
vehicles:
– Severe weather
– Road spray
– Ice/frost/snow/dirt build-up on
the vehicle
• Do not attach stickers (including
transparent material), install acces-
sories 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
volume, open vehicle window) will in-
terfere with the chime sound, and it
may not be heard.
NOTE:
In the case of several vehicles approach-
ing in a row (Illustration 1) or in the oppo-
site direction (Illustration 2), a chime may
not be sounded by the RCTA system af-
ter the first vehicle passes the sensors.
