Blind Spot Monitoring
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 8 mph (13 km/h).
When BSM sensors detect an object moving 3 to 18 mph (5 to 30 km/h)
(vehicle/motorcycle), RCTA will notify the driver with indicators and sound:
• Rear View Monitor and outside mirror flashing indications.
• Beep sound (same as BSM).
Please refer to your Owner’s Manual for complete details.
Object Detected Object Detected
WARNING: RCTA is only a supplementary system to help aid when backing up ,
however R C TA has limitations. The system does not detect all vehicles. Do not
rely solely on the R C TA . Relying solely on the R C TA may cause an unexpected
accident resulting in serious injury. Always back up slowly.
Rear View Monitor
BLIND SPOT MONITORING (BSM) SYSTEM (if equipped)
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system is designed to assist the driver
by monitoring the blind spots to the rear of the vehicle on both sides.
• If your vehicle speed is 20 mph (32 km/h) or more, the BSM will warn you of vehicles in the detection area by illuminating the BSM warning
lights located on the left and right door mirrors.
• If you operate a turn signal in the direction of an illuminated BSM
warning light, the system will also warn you with a beeping sound and
warning light flash.
• BSM sensors are located under the left and right rear bumper areas.
The BSM system may not operate properly if the rear bumper gets too
dirty, so keep the rear bumper area clean.
Please refer to your Owner’s Manual for complete details.

Detection Areas
NOTE: Do not rely completely on the BSM system and be sure to look over
your shoulder before changing lanes:
• The BSM system can assist the driver in confirming the safety of the surroundings, but is not a complete substitute. • The driver is responsible for ensuring safe lane changes and other maneuvers. • Always pay attention to the direction in which the vehicle is traveling and the vehicle’s surroundings. • The BSM system does not operate when the vehicle speed is lower than about 20 mph (32 km/h).
Turning BSM System Off
Turning the BSM system off will turn off both the light and sound indicators.
To manually turn the BSM system off, push the BSM OFF switch on the dash.
The BSM OFF indicator will illuminate in the instrument cluster when the BSM
system is off. The BSM system will automatically turn on the next time the
vehicle is started.
