WARNING
Cautions regarding the use of the

function
The driver is solely responsible for safe
driving. Always drive safely, taking care
to observe your surroundings.

tary function which alerts the driver that a
vehicle is approaching from the right or
left at the rear of the vehicle. As the
RCTA function may not function cor-
rectly under certain conditions, the
driver's own visual confirmation of safety
is necessary. Over reliance on this func-
tion may lead to an accident resulting
death or serious injury.
