REAR CROSS TRAFFIC ALERT (RCTA)
The RCTA is designed to alert the driver of oncoming traffic when backing out of a
parking spot. RCTA is active when the vehicle is in reverse and the vehicle speed is
between 0 mph and 6 mph.
When the BSM sensors detect a moving object, the RCTA will notify
the driver with indicators and sound:
• Rear view monitor and outside mirror flashing indications.
Refer to your Owner's Manual for complete details.

WARNING:
RCTA is only a
supplementary
system to help aid
when backing up;
however, RCTA
has limitations.
The system does
not detect all
vehicles, especially
motorcycles. 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.
