REAR CROSS TRAFFiC ALERT (RCTA) (if equipped)

The RCTA is designed to alert the driver of oncoming traffic when 
backing out of a parking spot. RCTA is active when your vehicle is in 
reverse and your vehicle speed is 0 to 8 mph (13 km/h).

When BSM sensors detect an object moving 3 to 18 mph (5 to 30 km/h) 
(vehicle/motorcycle), RCTA will notify the driver with indicators and sound:
  •  Rear View Monitor and outside mirror flashing indications.
  •  Beep sound (same as BSM).
Please refer to your Owner’s Manual for complete details.

WARNiNg:

 RCTA is only a supplementary system to help aid when backing up, 

however RCTA has limitations. The system does not detect all vehicles. Do not 

rely solely on the RCTA. Relying solely on the RCTA may cause an unexpected 

accident resulting in serious injury. Always back up slowly.
