Rear Cross Traffic Alert - Mazda 3 Smart Start Manual

Rear Cross Traffic Alert

REAR CROSS TRAFFIC ALERT (RCTA) (if equipped)
The RCTA is designed to alert the driver of oncoming traffic when
backing out of a parking spot. RCTA is active when your vehicle is in
reverse and your vehicle speed is 0 to 8 mph (13 km/h).
When BSM sensors detect an object moving 3 to 18 mph (5 to 30 km/h),
RCTA will notify the driver with indicators and sound:
• Rear View Monitor and outside mirror flashing indications.
• Beep sound (same as BSM).
Refer to your Owner's Manual for complete details.

WARNING:
however RCTA has limitations. The system does not detect all vehicles, especially
a motorcycle. Do not rely solely on the RCTA. Relying solely on the RCTA may
cause an unexpected accident resulting in serious injury. Always back up slowly.
