WARNING

Failure to follow the warnings and

instructions 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 proce-

dures and is not designed to

prevent contact with vehicles 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 so-

lely 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 ap-

proaching 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 ap-

proximately 5 MPH (8 km/h), the RCTA

REAR CROSS TRAFFIC ALERT (RCTA)

system is operational.
If the radar detects an approaching

vehicle from either side, the system

chimes (once) and the side indicator light

flashes on the side the vehicle is ap-

proaching from.

JVS0173X

WAF1143X

The RCTA system uses radar sensors

installed on both sides near the rear

bumper to detect an approaching vehicle.
The radar sensors can detect an ap-

proaching vehicle from up to approxi-

mately 66 ft (20 m) away.

WARNING

Failure to follow the warnings and

instructions for proper use of the I-

FCW system could result in serious

injury or death.

.

The I-FCW system helps warn the

driver before a collision but will

not avoid a collision. It is the

driver’s responsibility to stay

alert, drive safely and be in con-

trol of the vehicle at all times.

The I-FCW system can help alert the driver

when there is a sudden braking of a

second vehicle traveling in front of the

vehicle ahead in the same lane.

WAF1146X

The I-FCW system uses a radar sensor

located on the front of the vehicle to

measure the distance to the vehicle

ahead in the same lane.

all vehicles under all conditions.

.

The radar sensor does not detect

the following objects:

— Pedestrians, animals or obsta-

cles in the roadway

— Oncoming vehicles
— Crossing vehicles

.

(Illustration A) The I-FCW system

does not function when a vehicle

ahead is a narrow vehicle, such as

a motorcycle.

.

The radar sensor may not detect

a vehicle ahead in the following

conditions:
— Snow or heavy rain

— Dirt, ice, snow or other materi-

al covering the radar sensor

— Interference by other radar

sources

— Snow or road spray from tra-

velling vehicles.

SSD0253

When driving on some roads, such as

winding, hilly, curved, narrow roads, or

roads which are under construction, the

radar sensor may detect vehicles in a

different lane, or may temporarily not

detect a vehicle traveling ahead. This

may cause the I-FCW system to work

inappropriately.
The detection of vehicles may also be

affected by vehicle operation (steering

maneuver or traveling position in the

lane, etc.) or vehicle condition.

If this

occurs, the system may warn you by

blinking the vehicle ahead detection

indicator and sounding the chime un-

expectedly. You will have to manually

control the proper distance away from

the vehicle traveling ahead.
