Therefore, even if the RCTA function detects a vehicle and provides an alert,
the Rear Cross Traffic Auto Brake function may not start operating.

Re-enabling the Rear Cross Traffic Auto Brake function
To re-enable the Rear Cross Traffic Auto Brake function when it is disabled
while it is operating, either enable the Intelligent Clearance Sonar system
again (

mode. When the function is disabled, the ICS OFF indicator will illuminate.
(

→P. 81)

If there is no longer a vehicle approaching from the right or left at the rear of
the vehicle when backing up, or if the traveling direction of the vehicle
changes (such as changing from backing up to moving forward), the system
will be re-enabled automatically. When the function is re-enabled, the ICS
OFF indicator will turn off.
