Assist →Rear Collision Warning and
select Rear Cross Traffic Alert' on the
LCD display.
Cluster type B
Go to the 'User Settings →Driving

when vehicle speed is below 10 km/h
(6.2 mph) and with the shift lever in R
(Reverse).
If the function is deselected from the
instrument cluster, the function will
deactivate.
For more information, refer to
"LCD Display Modes" in chapter 3.Information
• The last selected setting (ON or
OFF) of the RCTA is remained in
the system.
• The system will activate when vehi-
cle speed is below 10 km/h (6.2 mph)
and with the shift lever in R
(Reverse).
• The Rear Cross Traffic Alert
(RCTA) detecting range is approxi-
mately 0.5 m ~ 20 m (1 ft ~ 65 ft) in
the direction of both lateral sides of
the vehicle.
An approaching vehicle will be
detected if their vehicle speed is
within 4 km/h ~36 km/h (2.5 ~ 22.5
mph).
Note that the detecting range may
vary under certain conditions. As
always, use caution and pay close
attention to your surroundings
when backing up your vehicle.
Warning type
If the vehicle detected by the sensors
approaches your vehicle, the warn-
ing chime will sound, the warning
light on the outside rearview mirror
will blink and a message will appear
on the LCD display.

Information
• The warning chime will turn off
when:
- The detected vehicle moves out of
the sensing area or
- when the vehicle is right behind
your vehicle or
- when the vehicle is not approach-
ing your vehicle or
- when the other vehicle slows down.
• The system may not operate proper-
ly due to other factors or circum-
stances. Always pay attention to
your surroundings.
• If the sensing area near the rear
bumper is blocked by either a wall
or barrier or by a parked vehicle,
the system sensing area may be
reduced.
i(Continued)
•The Blind Spot Detection
System (BSD) and Rear Cross
Traffic Alert (RCTA) are not a
substitute for proper and safe
driving practices. Always
drive safely and use caution
when changing lanes or back-
ing up your vehicle. The Blind
Spot Detection System (BSD)
may not detect every object
alongside the vehicle.
•With the system activated, the
warning light on the outside
rearview mirror will illuminate
whenever a vehicle is detect-
ed at the rear side by the sys-
tem.
To avoid accidents, do not
focus only on the warning
light and neglect to see the
surrounding of the vehicle.
•Drive safely even though the
vehicle is equipped with a
Blind Spot Detection System
(BSD) and Rear Cross Traffic
Alert (RCTA). Do not solely
rely on the system but check
your surrounding before
changing lanes or backing the
vehicle up.
The system may not alert the
driver in some conditions so
always check your surround-
ings while driving.

area is in a construction zone.
• There are crosswalk signs or other
symbols on the road.
• The lane marker in a tunnel is
stained with oil, etc.
• The lane suddenly disappears
such as at the intersection.When external condition is inter-

the roadway such as a concrete
barrier, guardrail and reflector post
that is inadvertently being detected

reflected on a wet road surface
such as a puddle in the road.
• The field of view in front is
obstructed by sun glare.
• There is not enough distance
between you and the vehicle in
front to be able to detect the lane
marker or the vehicle ahead is driv-
ing on the lane marker.• Driving on a steep grade, over a
hill, or when driving on a curved
road.
• The adverse road conditions cause
excessive vehicle vibrations while
driving.
• The surrounding of the inside rear
view mirror temperature is high
due to direct sunlight, etc.
When front visibility is poor
• The windshield or the LKAS cam-
era lens is blocked with dirt or
