attentiveness.
e Make sure that no persons, animals, obstacles or
vehicles are within maneuvering range of the
vehicle.
e Observe the safety instructions and system lim-
its of the supporting systems, sensors and
cameras.

System limitations
Vehicles cannot or may not be detected in time in
the following situations:

trude out very far toward the rear.
– Crossing road users approach extremely quickly.
– If the rear bumper is dirty.
Scope of functions
Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) monitors the area
behind the vehicle and warns of any road users (e.g.
passenger vehicles, motorcycles, bicycles, pedes-
trians) crossing behind the vehicle when the driver is
backing out.

The system is available subject to the following
prerequisites:
– Rear Cross Traffic Alert is switched on.
– Porsche Stability Management (PSM) is
switched on.
– Transmission range R is engaged.
– The vehicle speed is less than approx.
10 mph (15 km/h).
When reverse gear is engaged, arrows appear on the
central display to alert the driver to approaching

of the potential hazardous situation. If the driver
does not respond to the warning, the system per-
forms a brief warning jolt to alert the driver to the
impending collision hazard.
