BSD/RCTA (if equipped)

The BSD/RCTA consists of rear radar with
Blind Spot Detection and Rear Cross
Traffic Alert.

These functions enable the system to
detect objects or vehicles to the rear,
drawing attention to the driver when
changing a lane or when driving in
reverse.

WARNING

The driver is responsible for driving
safely. Always be sure to check the
surroundings with your eyes when
changing lanes or reversing the
vehicle.

The system is designed to assist the
driver by monitoring the rear and
side areas of the vehicle during a
lane change or reversing. However,
you cannot rely on this system
alone in assuring the safety during
a lane change or reversing. Over-
confidence in this system could
result in an accident and lead to
serious injury or death. Since the
system operation has various limita-
tions, the flashing or illumination of
the BSD/RCTA approach indicator

Starting and operating/BSD/RCTA

– CONTINUED –

7-37

Starting and operating/BSD/RCTA

light may be delayed or it may not
operate at all even when a vehicle is
present in a neighboring lane or
approaching from either side.

The driver is responsible for paying
attention to the rear and side areas
of the vehicle.

& System features

BSD/RCTA consists of the following func-
tions.
. To detect a vehicle in a blind spot on an
adjacent lane or a vehicle approaching at
high speed while driving the vehicle (Blind
Spot Detection)
. To detect a vehicle approaching from
the right or left while reversing the vehicle
(Rear Cross Traffic Alert)

The system uses radar sensors for the
above functions.

NOTE

The BSD/RCTA radar sensor has been
certified by the radio wave related laws
of the U.S. When driving in other
countries, certification of the country
where the vehicle is driven must be
obtained. For certification in the U.S.,
refer to

“Certification for the BSD/

RCTA

” F7-45.

! Blind Spot Detection (BSD)

Operating range

The system notifies the driver of vehicles
existing in the blind area. If the system
detects a vehicle existing in the blind area,
it warns the driver of dangers by illuminat-
ing the BSD/RCTA approach indicator
light(s) on the outside mirror(s). If the
driver operates the turn signal lever in the
direction where the BSD/RCTA approach
indicator light is illuminating, the system
warns the driver of dangers by flashing the
BSD/RCTA approach indicator light.

! Lane Change Assist (LCA)

Operating range

The system notifies the driver of vehicles
approaching at a high speed in the
neighboring lanes. If the system detects
a vehicle approaching at a high speed in
the neighboring lanes, it warns the driver
of dangers by illuminating the BSD/RCTA
approach indicator light(s) on the outside
mirror(s). If the driver operates the turn
signal lever in the direction where the
BSD/RCTA approach indicator light is
illuminating, the system warns the driver
of dangers by flashing the BSD/RCTA
approach indicator light.

7-38

! Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)

Operating range

The system notifies the driver of another
vehicle approaching from either side when
driving in reverse. This feature helps the
driver check the rear and side areas of the
vehicle when moving backward.

If the system detects a vehicle approach-
ing from either side while moving back-
ward, it warns the driver of dangers in the
following way.
. The BSD/RCTA approach indicator
light(s) on the outside mirror(s) flashes.
. A warning buzzer sounds.

The detection area of the radar sensors

Vehicle that may be detected

Vehicle that may not be detected

WARNING

In a parking area in which the
parking lines are drawn diagonally
to driving lanes as indicated in the
illustration above, the system may
detect a vehicle (A) that is coming
across the front of your vehicle.
Also, the system may not detect a
vehicle (B) that is coming across
behind your vehicle. Always be sure
to check the surroundings with your
eyes when reversing the vehicle,
because the detectability of RCTA
is limited.

& System operation

. In the following cases, the BSD/
RCTA will temporarily stop operating
(or may stop operating) and the BSD/
RCTA warning indicator will illuminate.

– When the radar sensor becomes
significantly misaligned (If the or-
ientation of the radar sensor is
shifted for any reason, readjust-
ment is required. Have the sensor
adjusted at a SUBARU dealer.)
– When a large amount of snow or
ice sticks to the rear bumper sur-
face around the radar sensors
– When the vehicle is driven on a
snow-covered road or in an envir-
onment in which there are no
objects around (such as in a desert)
for a long time
– When the temperature around
the radar sensors increased exces-
sively due to long driving on uphill
grades in summer, etc.
– When the temperature around
the radar sensors becomes extre-
mely low
– When the vehicle battery voltage
lowers
– When the vehicle battery be-
comes overvoltage

When the above conditions are cor-

rected, the BSD/RCTA will resume
operation and the BSD/RCTA warning
indicator will turn off. However, if the
BSD/RCTA warning indicator remains
illuminated for a prolonged time, have
the system inspected at a SUBARU
dealer as soon as possible.
. The detectability of the radar sen-
sors is restricted. The BSD/RCTA de-
tection may be impaired and the sys-
tem may not operate properly under the
following conditions.

– When the rear bumper around
the radar sensors is distorted
– When ice, snow or mud adheres
to the rear bumper surface around
the radar sensors
– When stickers, etc. are affixed on
the areas of the radar sensors on
the rear bumper
– During adverse weather condi-
tions such as rain, snow or fog
– When driving on wet roads such
a s s n o w - c o v e r e d r o a d s a n d
through puddles

. The radar sensors may not detect or
may have difficulty detecting the fol-
lowing.

– Small motorcycles, bicycles, pe-
destrians, stationary objects on the
road or road side, etc.
– Vehicles with body shapes that

the radar may not reflect (vehicles
with a low body height such as
sports cars or a trailer with no
cargo)
– Vehicles that are not approach-
ing your vehicle even though they
are in the detection area (either on a
neighboring lane to the rear or
beside your vehicle when rever-
sing) (The system determines the
presence of approaching vehicles
based on data detected by the radar
sensors.)
– Vehicles traveling at significantly
different speeds
– Vehicles driving in parallel at
almost the same speed as your
vehicle for a prolonged time
– Oncoming vehicles

– Vehicles in a lane beyond the
neighboring lane
– Vehicles travelling at a signifi-
cantly lower speed that you are
trying to overtake

. On a road with extremely narrow
lanes, the system may detect vehicles
driving in a lane next to the neighbor-
ing lane.
