WARNING!
• The Blind Spot Assist (BSA) system is
only an aid to help detect vehicles in
the blind spot zones.
• The BSA system is not designed
to detect pedestrians, cyclists, or
animals.
•
Even if your vehicle is equipped with
the BSA system, always check your
vehicle's outside and rear-view mirrors
for any vehicles approaching from
behind or overtaking.
• Use your turn signal before changing
lanes.
RCP - Rear Cross Path ( )
The Rear Cross Path (RCP) function is
intended to aid the drivers when gear in
reverse of parking spaces where their
vision of oncoming vehicles may be
blocked.
The RCP system monitors the rear
detection zones on both sides of the
vehicle. Using sensors located on either
side of the rear bumper, it detects
vehicles or objects that are moving
toward the side of the vehicle with a
minimum speed of approximately 1 km/h
to 3 km/h (1 to 2 mph) to a maximum of
approximately 16 km/h (10 mph), such as
in parking lot situations.
NOTE:
In a parking lot situation, oncoming
vehicles can be obscured by vehicles
parked on either side. If the sensors are
blocked by other structures or vehicles,
the system will not be able to alert the
driver.
Proceed slowly and cautiously out of the
parking space until the rear end of the
vehicle is moderately exposed.
The RCP system will then have a clear
view of the cross traffic. If an oncoming
vehicle is detected, the RCP system will
alert the driver using both the visual and
audible alarms. If the radio is on, it will
also reduce the radio volume.
