Mitsubishi MOTORS OUTLANDER PHEV 2021 Owner's Manual page 288

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 lamps in the outside
rear-view mirrors on both sides will blink,
even when only one vehicle is approaching
from one side.
Detection areas
The detection area is shown as illustrated.
CAUTION
 In certain situations, the RCTA may not
detect a vehicle in the detection areas. Some
of these situations include;
• When the reversing speed of your vehicle is
approximately 18 km/h or higher.
Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)*
CAUTION
• When a approaching vehicle speed is
approximately 7 km/h or less.
• If the sensor detection area is blocked by a
nearby object, such as wall or parked vehi-
cle.
• When a vehicle is approaching from
straight behind your vehicle.
• When your vehicle is exiting from an
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
is covered with dirt, snow and ice, etc.
• When the sensor becomes extremely hot or
cold, such as after the vehicle has been
parked for a prolonged time under the blaz-
ing sun or in cold weather.
 If the bumper has experienced an impact, the
sensor may have been damaged and the
RCTA may not function properly. Have the
vehicle inspected at a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorised Service Point.
