FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
- The Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) system can help alert the driver of approaching vehicles when the driver is backing out of a parking space.
- The RCTA system uses side radars installed near the rear bumper to detect approaching vehicles.
- The RCTA system operates at speeds below 8 km/h (5 MPH) whenever the vehicle is in reverse.
- The side radar can detect vehicles on either side of vehicle within the detection zone shown as illustrated.
- The radar sensors detect the approaching vehicle from up to approximately 20 m (66 ft) away.
- If the radar detects a vehicle approaching from the side, the system gives visual and audible warning.
- If the side radar detects an approaching vehicle from the side, the RCTA system sounds a beep (single beep), the BSW indicator on the side of the approaching vehicle flashes.
OPERATION DESCRIPTION
- Side radar enables RCTA system.
- Side radar starts the control as follows, based on a reverse gear signal and vehicle detection signal.
- Side radar detects a vehicle approaching.
OPERATION CONDITION
Side radar performs the control when the following conditions are satisfied:
- RCTA system: ON
- Vehicle speed: Approximately 8 km/h (5 MPH) or less
- Selector lever: "R" position
CANCEL CONDITION
The side radar cancels the operation when the system is under any conditions of the operation cancellation condition.
- When the system malfunction occurs.
- When the area around the side radar is dirty.
