7-20. BSD/RCTA (If
Equipped)

The BSD/RCTA consists of rear radar with
Blind Spot Detection and Rear Cross
Traffic Alert.
These functions of BSD/RCTA are the
systems that detect objects and vehicles to
the rear and draw 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 in changing lanes or rever-
sing safely by monitoring the rear
and side areas of the vehicle. How-
ever, you cannot rely on this system
alone in assuring the safety during a
lane change or reversing. Overcon-
fidence in this system could result in
an accident and lead to serious
injury or death. Since the system
operation has various limitations,
the flashing or illumination of the
BSD/RCTA approach indicator light

may be delayed or it may not operate
at all even when a vehicle is present
in a neighboring lane or approach-
ing 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
following features.

NOTE

The BSD/RCTA radar sensor has been
certified by the radio wave related laws
of the U.S. and other FCC compliant
countries, Canada and Mexico. When
driving in other countries, certification
of the country where the vehicle is
driven must be obtained. For certifica-
tion in the U.S. and other FCC compli-

ant countries, Canada and Mexico,
refer to “Certification for the BSD/
RCTA” FP380.

Blind Spot Detection (BSD)

1)

Operating range

The system notifies the driver of the
presence of vehicles in its blind spot.
.

If the system detects a vehicle in its

blind spot, it warns the driver 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 indica-
tor light.

1)

Operating range

The system notifies the driver of vehicles
approaching at a high speed in the
neighboring lanes.
.

If the system detects a vehicle ap-

proaching at a high speed in the neighbor-
ing lanes, it warns the driver of dangers by
illuminating the BSD/RCTA approach in-
dicator 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 indica-
tor light.

!

Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)

1)

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.

.

An icon appears on the center informa-

tion display.

– When a vehicle moves to the neigh-
boring lane from a lane next to the
neighboring lane
– When driving on a steep incline or
on repeated sharp uphill and downhill
grades
– When going beyond a pass
– When both your vehicle and a
vehicle driving on a neighboring lane

are driving on the far side of each lane.
– When several narrowly-spaced ve-
hicles are approaching in a row
– In low radius bends (tight bends or
when making turns at an intersection)
– When there is a difference in height
between your lane and the neighboring
lane
– Immediately after the BSD/RCTA is
activated by touching “BSD/RCTA”

7-21. Reverse Automatic
Braking System (If Equipped)

Reverse Automatic Braking is a system
designed to help avoid collisions or reduce
collision damage when reversing the
vehicle. If a wall or an obstacle is detected
in the reversing direction, the system will
notify the driver with a warning sound and
may activate the vehicle’s brakes auto-
matically.

WARNING

.

Reverse Automatic Braking is not

a system intended to replace the
driver’s responsibility to check
their surroundings for vehicles or
obstacles to avoid a collision.

.

The driver is responsible for driv-

ing safely. Always be sure to
check the surroundings visually
be ready to brake when reversing
the vehicle.

.

There are some cases in which

the vehicle cannot avoid colli-
sion, because the system opera-
tion has limitations. The warning
sound or automatic braking may
be delayed or may not operate at
all even when an obstacle is
present.

.

Make sure to set the Automatic

Braking System to OFF when the
vehicle is on the free roller or on
the chassis dynamometer. Other-
wise, the vehicle may move and it
may cause an accident.

.

Make sure to set the Automatic

Braking System to OFF when
towing a trailer. Otherwise, the
vehicle may move and it may
cause an accident.

.

The system is not designed to

detect people (including chil-
dren), animals or other moving
objects.

.

Depending on the vehicle condi-

tion or the surrounding environ-
ment, the sonar sensor’s ability
to detect objects may become
unstable.

NOTE

The Reverse Automatic Braking Sys-
tem records and stores the following
data when automatic braking operates.
It does not record conversations, per-
sonal information or other audio data.
.
