BLIND-SPOT DETECTION (BSD)/ REAR CROSS-
TRAFFIC ALERT (RCTA)(if equipped)
This system uses radar sensors mounted behind the rear bumper on the left and right
sides that warn you if another vehicle is sensed in your blind spots. These functions
provide additional awareness when changing lanes or driving in reverse.
Blind-Spot Detection (BSD)
This function senses if a vehicle is in your blind spot and provides a
visual warning (yellow light) in the corresponding side mirror frame.
Lane Change Assist (LCA)
Lane Change Assist (LCA) works with Blind Spot Detection to
provide an additional level of warning if you attempt to change lanes
with a vehicle in your blind spot. LCA will rapidly flash the corresponding side mirror
indicator if you operate your turn signal when a vehicle is sensed in your blind spot.
Rear Cross-Traffic Alert (RCTA)
This function detects a vehicle approaching from
either side as you reverse and provides audible and
visual warnings. Warnings will appear in the upper
corners of the Rear-Vision Camera display and side
mirrors, and audible beeping will sound.
BSD/RCTA can be turned on or off by pressing the
BSD/RCTA OFF switch in the instrument panel. When
this function is off, a yellow BSD/RCTA OFF indicator
will be displayed in Combination Meter.

EYESIGHT®DISCLAIMER
EyeSight®is a driver assist technology which may not operate optimally under all driving
conditions. The driver is always responsible for safe and attentive driving. System
effectiveness depends on many factors such as vehicle maintenance, weather and road
conditions. See Owner’s Manual for complete details on system operations and limitations.
The Pre-Collision Braking system is designed to provide automatic braking that either
prevents a collision or reduces the severity of a frontal impact.
The Pre-Collision Throttle Management system is designed to reduce acceleration and
minimize the severity of certain frontal impacts.
Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control and Brake Light Recognition are designed to assist the
driver and are not substitutes for safe and attentive driving.
Lane Centering function operates only when used in conjunction with Advanced Adaptive
Cruise Control.
Lane Departure Prevention operates only when the lane markings are visible, and system
effectiveness depends on many factors.
Blind-Spot Detection, Lane Change Assist and Rear Cross Traffic Alert are systems
designed to assist the driver by monitoring the rear and side areas of the vehicle during a
lane change or reversing and are not a substitute for safe and attentive driving.
The Reverse Automatic Braking System is not a substitute for safe and attentive driving.
System effectiveness depends on many factors, such as vehicle maintenance, weather
and road conditions. Always exercise caution and use vehicle mirrors and the Rear-Vision
Camera when backing up. See Owner’s Manual for complete details on system operation
and limitations.
