The RCTA system uses radar sensors1
installed on both sides near the rear bum-
per to detect an approaching vehicle.
The radar sensors
1can detect an ap-
proaching vehicle from up to approxi-
mately 66 f t. (20 m) away.

HOW TO ENABLE/DISABLE THE
RCTA SYSTEM
Perform the following steps to enable or
disable the RCTA system.
Using “Settings” in the vehicle informa-
tion display:1. Press the
button until “Settings”
displays in the vehicle information dis-
play and then press the OK button. Use
the
button to select “Driver Assis-
tance.” Then press the OK button.
2. Select “Blind Spot” and press the OK button.
When the RCTA system is turned on, the
BSW/RCTA indicator (white) in the vehicle
information display illuminates.
Using the “Driving Aids” screen in the ve-
hicle information display:
1. Use the
buttons on the steering
wheel to scroll to the Driving Aids
screen.
2. Press the OK button to access the Driver Assistance menu.

NOTE:∙ The RCTA system is integrated into
the BSW system. There is not a sepa-
rate selection in the vehicle informa-
tion display for the RCTA system.
When the BSW is disabled, the RCTA
system is also disabled.
∙ When enabling/disabling the system,
the system setting will be retained
even if the engine is restarted.
RCTA SYSTEM LIMITATIONS

Page 300 of 507

WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations
for the RCTA system. Failure to operate
the vehicle in accordance with these
system limitations could result in seri-
ous injury or death.
∙ Always check surroundings and turnto check what is behind you before
backing up. The radar sensors detect
approaching (moving) vehicles. The
radar sensors cannot detect every
object such as:
– Pedestrians, bicycles, motorcycles, animals or child-operated toy
vehicles
– A vehicle that is passing at speeds greater than approximately
19 mph (30 km/h)
– A vehicle that is passing at speeds lower than approximately 5 mph
(8 km/h)
∙ The radar sensors may not detect ap- proaching vehicles in certain
situations:
– Illustration
A: When a vehicle
parked next to you obstructs the
beam of the radar sensor. – Illustration
B: When the vehicle is
parked in an angled parking space.
– Illustration
C: When the vehicle is
parked on inclined ground.
– Illustration
D: When an approach-
ing vehicle turns into your vehicle’s
parking lot aisle.
– Illustration
E: When the angle
formed by your vehicle and ap-
proaching vehicle is small.
∙ The following conditions may reduce the ability of the radar to detect other
vehicles:
– Severe weather
– Road spray
– Ice/frost/snow/dirt build-up on the vehicle
∙ Do not attach stickers (including transparent material), install accesso-
ries or apply additional paint near the
radar sensors. These conditions may
reduce the ability of the radar to de-
tect other vehicles. ∙ Excessive noise (e.g., audio system
volume, open vehicle window) will in-
terfere with the chime sound, and it
may not be heard.

NOTE:
In the case of several vehicles approach-
ing in a row (Illustration 1) or in the oppo-
site direction (Illustration 2), a chime may
not be sounded by the RCTA system af-
ter the first vehicle passes the sensors.

SYSTEM TEMPORARILY
UNAVAILABLE
When radar blockage is detected, the sys-
tem will be deactivated automatically. The
“Unavailable: Side Radar Obstruction”
warning message will appear and the
BSW/RCTA indicator (white) will blink
Ain
the vehicle information display.
The systems are not available until the
conditions no longer exist.
The radar sensors may be blocked by tem-
porary ambient conditions such as splash-
ing water, mist or fog.
The blocked condition may also be caused
by objects such as ice, frost or dirt ob-
structing the radar sensors.
NOTE:
If the BSW system stops working, the
RCTA system (if so equipped) will also
stop working.
Action to take
When the above conditions no longer exist,
the system will resume automatically.

Page 303 of 507

Malfunction
When the RCTA system malfunctions, it will
turn off automatically. The BSW/RCTA indi-
cator (orange) will appear in the vehicle in-
formation display.
NOTE:
If the BSW system stops working, the
RCTA system (if so equipped) will also
stop working.
Action to take
Stop the vehicle in a safe location, place the
vehicle in the P (Park) position, turn the en-
gine off and restart the engine. If the mes-
sage continues to appear, have the system
checked. It is recommended that you visit a
NISSAN dealer for this service.
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The two radar sensors1for the BSW and
RCTA systems are located near the rear
bumper. Always keep the area near the ra-
dar sensors clean.
The radar sensors may be blocked by tem-
porary ambient conditions such as splash-
ing water, mist or fog.
The blocked condition may also be caused
by objects such as ice, frost or dirt ob-
structing the radar sensors.
Check for and remove objects obstructing
the area around the radar sensors. Do not attach stickers (including transpar-
ent material), install accessories or apply
additional paint near the radar sensors.
Do not strike or damage the area around
the radar sensors. It is recommended that
you visit a NISSAN dealer if the area around
the radar sensors is damaged due to a
collision.
