STARTING AND OPERATING 405
7-22. BSD / RCTA( If Equipped) s07bm
The BSD / RCTA consists of rear corner radar sensors with Blind Spot Detection and Rear Cross Traffic Alert.
These functions of BSD / RCTA are the systems that detect objects and vehicles to the rear and draw 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 with your eyes when changing lanes or reversing the vehicle.
The system is designed to assist the driver in changing lanes or reversing 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 the warning buzzer may be delayed or inoperative, even if there is a vehicle traveling in a neighboring lane or approaching your vehicle from either side.
The driver is responsible for paying attention to the rear and side areas of the vehicle.
