Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) (if so equipped)
WARNING
 Never rely solely on the RCTA when back-
ing up. The RCTA is an aid system. It is
not a substitute for your safe and careful
driving. Always check visually behind and
all around your vehicle for other vehicles,
persons, animals or obstructions.

The performance of the RCTA may vary
depending on driving, traffic and/or sur-
rounding conditions.
NOTE
 The Blind Spot Warning lights in the outside
rearview mirrors on both sides will blink,
even when only one vehicle is approaching
from one side.

angled parking spot.
• Immediately after the RCTA has been
turned on.
• Immediately after the operation mode of
the power switch has been put in ON.
• When the bumper surface around the sensor

• When the sensor becomes extremely hot or
cold, such as after the vehicle has been
parked for a prolonged time under the blaz-

RCTA may not function properly. Have the
vehicle inspected at a certified Mitsubishi
EV dealer.
