WARNING
■ Cautions regarding the use of the function 
The driver is solely responsible for safe driving. Always drive safely, taking 
care to observe your surroundings. 
The RCTA function is only a supplement ary 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 functi on 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.
