injury, death, or vehicle damage.
An image appears on the

Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)
On vehicles with the RCTA, a
warning triangle with a left or right
pointing arrow may also display on
the RVC screen to warn of traffic
coming from the left or the right.
Three beeps will sound from the
speaker on that side. This system
detects objects coming from up to
20 m (65 ft) from the left or right side
behind the vehicle. The RCTA
system will not work properly if ice,
snow, mud, or anything else builds
up on the rear bumper sensors.
Use caution while backing up when
towing a trailer, as the RCTA
detection zones that extend out
from the back of your vehicle do not
move further back when a trailer is
towed.
