BSD/RCTA (if equipped)The BSD/RCTA consists of rear radar with
Blind Spot Detection and Rear Cross
Traffic Alert.
These functions enable the system to
detect objects or vehicles to the rear,
drawing 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 rever-
sing safely by monitoring the rear
and side areas of the vehicle. How-
ever, you cannot rely on this system
alone in assuring the safety during a
lane change or reversing. Overcon-
fidence 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 presentin a neighboring lane or approach-
ing from either side.
The driver is responsible for paying
attention to the rear and side areas
of the vehicle.
&System featuresBSD/RCTA consists of the following func-
tions.
.To detect a vehicle in a blind spot on an
adjacent lane or a vehicle approaching at
high speed while driving the vehicle (Blind
Spot Detection)
.To detect a vehicle approaching from
the right or left while reversing the vehicle
(Rear Cross Traffic Alert)
The system uses radar sensors for the
following features.NOTEThe BSD/RCTA radar sensor has been
certified by the radio wave related laws
of the U.S. and Canada. When driving in
other countries, certification of the
country where the vehicle is driven
must be obtained. For certification in
the U.S. and Canada, refer to“Certifica-
tion for the BSD/RCTA”F7-64.!Blind Spot Detection (BSD)
1) Operating rangeThe system warns the driver of dangers as
follows.
.If the system detects vehicles in the
driver’s blind spots, the BSD/RCTA ap-
proach indicator light(s) on the outside
mirror(s) will illuminate.
.If the driver operates the turn signal
lever to the side where the BSD/RCTA
approach indicator light is illuminated, the
corresponding BSD/RCTA approach indi-
cator light will flash.

Weather conditions
–Extremely high or extremely low
temperatures in which the area near
the sonar sensor becomes too hot
or too cold to operate
–The sonar sensors or the rear
bumper near the sonar sensors is
exposed to heavy rain or a signifi-
cant amount of water
–Fog, snow or sandstorm, etc.
–Air is moving rapidly such as
when a strong wind is blowing
Parts attached to the rear bumper
near the sonar sensor
–Commercial electronic parts (fog
light, fender pole, radio antenna) or
commercial attachment parts (trai-
ler hitch, bicycle carrier, bumper
guard) are attached
–Parts that emit high frequency
sound, such as a horn or speaker,
are attached
Vehicle conditions
–The vehicle is significantly in-
clined
–The ground clearance is signifi-
cantly reduced due to the vehicle’s
loading condition, etc.
–When the sonar sensor is mis-
aligned due to a collision or anaccident
Surrounding environment
–A cloth banner, flag, hanging
branch or railroad crossing bars
are present in the reversing direc-
tion
–When reversing on a gravel or
grassy area
–When reversing in an area where
objects or walls are adjacent to the
vehicle such as narrow tunnels,
narrow bridges, narrow roads or
narrow garages
–Wheel tracks or a hole is present
in the ground of the reversing
direction
–When reversing over a drainage
cover (grate cover)
–The path of the reversing direc-
tion is inclined such as on a steep
uphill
–A curb is present in the reversing
direction
–When reversing downhill

Access key fob–if access key
fob does not operate properly
CAUTION
Keep metallic objects, magnetic
sources and signal transmitters
away from the area between the
access key fob and the push-button
ignition switch. They may interfere
with the communication between
the access key fob and the push-
button ignition switch.
The following functions may be inoperable
because of strong radio signals in the
surrounding area or a low battery condition
of the access key fob.
.Locking/unlocking doors
.Switching power status
.Starting the engine
In such cases, perform the following
procedure. When the battery of the access
key fob is discharged, replace it with a new
one. Refer to“Replacing battery of access
key fob”F11-52.
&Locking and unlocking1) Release button
2) Emergency keyWhile pressing the release button of the
access key fob, take out the emergency
key.
Lock or unlock the driver’s door with the
emergency key.NOTEAfter locking or unlocking, be sure to
reinsert the emergency key into the
access key fob.
&Switching power status1. Apply the parking brake.
2. Shift the shift lever into neutral (MT
models) or the select lever into the“P”
position (CVT models).
3. Depress the clutch pedal (MT models)
or brake pedal (CVT models).4. Hold the access key fob with the
buttons facing you, and touch the push-
button ignition switch with it.
When the communication between the
access key fob and the vehicle is com-
pleted, a chime (ding) will sound. At the
same time, the status of the push-button
ignition switch changes to either of the
following.
.When the keyless access with push-
button start system is deactivated:

crease in temperature could cause
tread separation, and failure of the
tire(s). Possible resulting loss of
vehicle control could lead to an
accident.!Measuring and adjusting air
pressure to achieve proper in-
flationCheck and, if necessary, adjust the
pressure of each tire (including the
spare) at least once a month and
before any long journey. Check the
tire pressures when the tires are
cold. Use a pressure gauge to
adjust the tire pressures to the
specific values. Driving even a short
distance warms up the tires and
increases the tire pressures. Also,
the tire pressures are affected by
the outside temperature. It is best to
check tire pressure outdoors before
driving the vehicle. When a tire
becomes warm, the air inside it
expands, causing the tire pressure
to increase. Be careful not to mis-
takenly release air from a warm tire
to reduce its pressure.
