The RCTA function uses the BSM rear side radar sensors installed behind the rear bumper . This function is intended to assist the driver in checking areas that are not easily visible when backing up .
WARNING
■ Cautions regarding the use of the system
The driver is solely responsible for safe driving . Always drive safely , taking care to observe your surroundings .
The RCTA function is only a supplementary function which alerts the driver that a vehicle is approaching from the right or left at the rear of the vehicle .
As the RCTA function may not function correctly under certain
conditions , the driver ’ s own visual confirmation of safety is necessary .
Over reliance on this function may lead to an accident resulting death or serious injury .
