Rear Cross Traffic Alert - Mazda mx-5 Miata 2017 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 6 mph (10 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:
• Outside mirror flashing indications.
• Beep sound (same as BSM).
Refer to your Owner's Manual for complete details.

Outside Mirror Indicators
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.
