speed while driving the vehi-
cle (Blind Spot Detection)
To detect a vehicle approach-
ing from the right or left while
reversing the vehicle (Rear
Cross Traffic Alert)
The system uses radar sensors
for the following features.
The BSD/RCTA radar sensor has
been certified by the radio wave
related laws of the U.S. and other
FCC compliant countries and Can-
ada. When drivi ng in other coun-
tries, certification of the country
where the vehicle is driven must be
obtained. For certif ication in the U.S.
and other FCC comp liant countries
and Canada, refer to P.440.
■Blind Spot Detection (BSD)
The system notifies the driver of
the presence of vehicles in its
blind spot.
If the system detects a vehicle
in its blind spot, it warns the
driver by illuminating the
BSD/RCTA approach indica-
tor(s) on the outside mirror(s).
If the driver operates the turn
signal lever in the direction
where the BSD/RCTA
approach indicator is illumi-
nating, the system warns the
BSD/RCTA*
The BSD/RCTA consists of
rear corner radars with
Blind Spot Detection, Lane
Change Assist and Rear
Cross Traffic Alert.
These functions of
BSD/RCTA are the systems
that detect objects and vehi-
cles to the rear and draw
attention to the driver when
changing a lane or when
driving in reverse.
WARNING
The driver is responsible for driv-
ing 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 limitations, the flash-
ing or illumination of the
BSD/RCTA approach indicator
may be delayed or it may not
operate at all even when a vehicle
is present in a neighboring lane or
approaching from either side.
The driver is responsible for pay-
ing attention to t he rear and side
areas of the vehicle.
