Blind Spot Monitoring

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.

Rear View Monitor

BLIND SPOT MONITORING (BSM) SYSTEM (if equipped)

The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system is designed to assist the driver 
by monitoring the blind spots to the rear of the vehicle on both sides.

  •   If your vehicle speed is 20 mph (32 km/h) or more, the BSM will warn 

you of vehicles in the detection area by illuminating the BSM warning 

lights located on the left and right door mirrors.

  •   If you operate a turn signal in the direction of an illuminated BSM  

warning light, the system will also warn you with a beeping sound and 

warning light flash.

  •   BSM sensors are located under the left and right rear bumper areas.  

The BSM system may not operate properly if the rear bumper gets too 

dirty, so keep the rear bumper area clean. 

Please refer to your Owner’s Manual for complete details.

Detection Areas

NOTE:

Do not rely completely on the BSM system and be sure to look over 

your shoulder before changing lanes:

• 

The BSM system can assist the driver in confirming the safety of the surroundings,  

  but is not a complete substitute. 
•  The driver is responsible for ensuring safe lane changes and other maneuvers. 
•  Always pay attention to the direction in which the vehicle is traveling and the  

  vehicle’s surroundings. 
•  The BSM system does not operate when the vehicle speed is lower than about  

  20 mph (32 km/h).

Turning BSM System Off

Turning the BSM system off will turn off both the light and sound indicators. 

To manually turn the BSM system off, push the BSM OFF switch on the dash. 

The BSM OFF indicator will illuminate in the instrument cluster when the BSM 

system is off. The BSM system will automatically turn on the next time the 

vehicle is started.
