7-19 . BSD / RCTA ( if equipped )
S07BM
The BSD / RCTA consists of rear corner radars with Blind Spot Detection and Rear Cross Traffic Alert .
These functions enable the system to detect objects or vehicles to the rear , drawing attention to the driver when changing a lane or when driving in reverse .
WARNING
The driver is responsible for driving safely . Always be sure to check the surroundings when changing lanes or reversing the vehicle .
The system is designed to assist the driver to change lanes or reverse safely by monitoring the rear and side areas of the vehicle . However , you cannot rely on this system alone in assuring the safety during a lane change or reversing . Overconfidence in this system could result in an accident and lead to serious injury or death . Since the system operation has various limitations , the flashing or illumination of the BSD / RCTA approach indicator light may be delayed or it may not operate at all even when a vehicle is present
in a neighboring lane or approaching from either side .
The driver is responsible for paying attention to the rear and side areas of the vehicle .
