WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions for proper use of the
RCTA system could result in serious
injury or death.
.The RCTA system is not a replace-
ment for proper driving proce-
dures and is not designed to
prevent contact with vehicles or
objects. When backing out of a
parking space, always use the
side and rear mirrors and turn
and look in the direction your
vehicle will move. Never rely so-
lely on the RCTA system.
The RCTA system will assist you when
backing out from a parking space. When
the vehicle is in reverse, the system is
designed to detect other vehicles ap-
proaching from the right or left of the
vehicle. If the system detects cross traffic,
it will alert you.
