BSM Switch Location
Note:
When the ignition is switched off,
the condition before the system was
turned off is maintained. For example,
if the ignition is switched OFF while the
BSM and RCTA systems are
operational, the BSM and RCTA
systems remain operational the next
time the ignition is switched ON.
The BSM and RCTA systems are
turned off when the battery is
disconnected such as when the
battery terminals or fuses have been
removed and reinstalled. To turn the
BSM and RCTA systems back on,
push the BSM switch.
RCTA (Rear Cross Traffic Alert)
Function
The RCTA system is designed to assist
the driver in checking the area to the
rear of the vehicle on both sides while
the vehicle is reversing by alerting the
driver to the presence of vehicles
approaching the rear of the vehicle.
The RCTA system detects vehicles
approaching from the left and right
sides of the vehicle while the vehicle is
reversing out of a parking space, and
notifies the driver of possible danger
using the BSM warning lights and the
warning buzzer.
