WARNING
■ Cautions regarding the use of
the RCTA function
The driver is solely responsible for
safe driving. Always drive safely, tak-
ing care to observe your surround-
ings.
The RCTA function is only a supple-
mentary function which alerts the
driver that a vehicle is approaching
from the right or left at the rear of the
vehicle. As the RCTA function may
not function correctly under certain
conditions, the driver's own visual
confirmation of safety is necessary.
Over reliance on this function may
lead to an accident resulting death or
serious injury.
