■Buzzer operation and dis-
tance to an object
A buzzer sounds when the sen-
sors are operating.
 The buzzer beeps faster as 
the vehicle approaches an 
object. When the vehicle comes 
within approximately 1.0 ft. 
(30 cm) of the object, the 
buzzer sounds continuously.
 When 2 or more sensors 
simultaneously detect a static 
object, the buzzer sounds for 
1.5 ft. to 1.0 ft. (45 cm to 30 cm)*Fast
1.0 ft. to 0.5 ft. (30 cm to 15 cm)ContinuousLess than 0.5 ft. (15 cm)

 Even when the sensors are 
operating, the buzzer will be 
muted in some situations. 
(automatic buzzer mute func-
tion)
■Adjusting the buzzer vol-
ume
The buzzer volume can be 
adjusted on the multi-informa-
tion display.
Use the meter control switches 
to change settings. ( P.100)
1 Press   or   of the meter 
control switch to select  .
2 Press   or   of the meter 
control switch to select   
and then press and hold  .
3 Select the volume and then 
press  .
Each time the switch is pressed, 
the volume lev el will change 
between 1, 2, and 3.
■Muting a buzzer
A mute button will be displayed 
on the multi-information display 
when an object is detected. To 
mute the buzzer, press  .
The buzzers for the intuitive 
parking assist and RCTA func-
tion (if equipped) will be muted 
simultaneously. Mute will be canceled automati-
cally in the following situations:
When the shift position is 
changed.
 When the vehicle speed 
exceeds a certain speed.
 When there is a malfunction 
in a sensor or the system is 
temporarily unavailable.
 When the operating function 
is disabled manually.
 When the power switch is 
turned off.
The object warning function 
informs the driver of the exis-
tence of objects along the side 
of the vehicle, using a display 
and buzzer, if the objects are 
within the estimated path of the 
vehicle.

detect objects. While the vehicle is moving, if a detected object can 
no longer be detected by the side sensors or side cameras, the  loca-
tion of the object relative to the vehicle is estimated. If the  object is 
determined to be in the estimated path of the vehicle, the obje ct 
warning function will operate.
Object detected by side sensors or side cameras
1 The vehicle is stopped and objects along the sides of the vehic le 
are not detected.
2 Objects are detected as the vehicle is moving.
3 Even though the objects are out side of the detection area of the 
side sensors or side cameras, a warning is displayed and a 
buzzer sounds.
■Object warning function operat-
ing conditions
●The Advanced Park is operating.
●The vehicle moves about 23.0 ft. 
(7 m) after the fuel cell system is 
started.
●The R shift position is selected.
●After the D shift position has been 
selected, the vehicle has moved 
23.0 ft. (7 m) or less.
●Camera switch has been pressed 
and the panoramic view monitor 
screen is displayed.
●The front or rear s ensor detects a 
stationary object.
■Detection of objects along the 
sides of the vehicle
●Objects along the sides of the 
vehicle are not  instantaneously 
detected. The location of objects  in relation to the
 vehicle is esti-
mated after they are first detected 
by the front or rear side sensors, 
or side cameras. Therefore, after 
the power switch is changed to 
ON, even if an object is along the 
side of the vehicle, it may not be 
detected until the vehicle has 
been driven a small amount and 
the side sensors o r side cameras 
completely scan the areas along 
the sides of the vehicle.
●If a vehicle, person, animal, etc., is 
detected by a side sensors or side 
cameras, but then leaves the 
detection area of the side sensors 
or side cameras, the system will 
assume the object has not moved.

WARNING
■Object warning function
In situations such as the following, 
the function may n ot operate cor-
rectly, possibly leading to an acci-
dent. Proceed carefully.
●When starting off shortly after 
the power switch is turned to 
ON and a small vehicle or other 
object which cannot be detected 
by a front side sensor is next to 
the vehicle.
In the situation shown in the fol-
lowing illustration, even if the 
vehicle starts off, the vehicle on 
the left will not be detected and 
the object warni ng function will 
not operate.
●When an object or person is in a 
position which cannot be 
detected by the side sensors or 
side cameras.
●When, after the  side sensors 
have completed scanning the 
areas along the sides of the 
vehicle, a vehicle, person, or 
other object approaches the 
side of the vehic le and cannot 
be detected.
RCTA (Rear Cross Traf-
fic Alert)*
The RCTA function uses the 
BSM rear side radar sen-
sors installed behind the 
rear bumper. This function 
is intended to assist the 
driver in checking areas 
that are not easily visible 
when backing up.
WARNING
■Cautions regarding the use of 
the system
There is a limit t o the degree of 
recognition accuracy and control 
performance that this system can 
provide, do not overly rely on this 
system. The driver is always 
responsible for paying attention to 
the vehicle’s su rroundings and 
driving safely. ( P.249)

RCTA buzzer
If a vehicle appr oaching from the 
right or left at the rear of the vehicle 
is detected, a b uzzer will sound.  The buzzer also sounds for approx-
imately 1 second immediately after 
the RCTA function is turned on.

■Outside rear vie w mirror indica-
tor visibility
In strong sunlight, the outside rear 
view mirror indicator may be difficult 
to see.
■Hearing the RCTA buzzer
The RCTA buzzer may be difficult to 
hear over loud noises, such as high 
audio volume.
■When “Rear Cross Traffic Alert 
Unavailable” is shown on the 
multi-information display
The sensor voltage has become 
abnormal, or water, snow, mud, etc., 
may be built up in th e vicinity of the 
sensor area of the rear bumper. 
(  P.250)
Removing the water, snow, mud, 
etc., from the vicini ty of the sensor 
area should return it to normal. Also, 
the sensor may not function nor-
mally when used in extremely hot or 
cold weather.

and approaching vehicle gets too 
close
*: Depending on the conditions,  detection of a v ehicle and/or 
object may occur.
■Situations in which the system 
may not operate properly
