s07bm
The BSD/RCTA consists of rear radar 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 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.
