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 6 mph.

When BSM sensors detect an object moving 3 to 18 mph, RCTA will notify 

the driver with indicators and sound:

•  Rear View Monitor and outside mirror flashing indications.
•  Beep sound is customizable (same as BSM).

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, especially 

a motorcycle. 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.
