7-20. BSD/RCTA (IfEquipped)The BSD/RCTA consists of rear corner
radars with Blind Spot Detection and Rear
Cross Traffic Alert.
These functions of BSD/RCTA are the
systems that detect objects and vehicles
to the rear and draw attention to the driver
when changing a lane or when driving in
reverse.
■
System Features
BSD/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)

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
reversing safely by monitoring the
rear and side areas of the vehicle.
However, you cannot rely on this
system alone in assuring the safety
during a lane change or reversing.
Overconfidence in this system
could result in an accident and lead
to serious injury or death. Since the
system operation has various lim-
itations, the flashing or illumination
of the BSD/RCTA approach indica-
tor light may be delayed or it may
not operate at all even when a vehi-
cle is present in a neighboring lane
or approaching from either side.The driver is responsible for paying
attention to the rear and side areas
of the vehicle.
