tional when
The RCTA functio n operates when
all of the followin g conditions are
met:
●The power switch is in ON.
●The RCTA function is on.
●The shift position is in R.
●The vehicle spe ed is less than
approximately 9 mph (15 km/h).
●The approaching vehicle speed is
between approximately 5 mph (8
km/h) and 34 mph (56 km/h).

■Muting a buzzer temporarily
When an object is detected, the
temporary mute switch is displayed
on the multimedia display system.
Select to mute a buzzer of the
intuitive parking assist-sensor,
RCTA and RCD all together.
Mute will be canceled automatically
in the followin g situations:
●When the shift position is
changed.
●When the vehicle speed exceeds
a certain speed.
●When there is a malfunction in a
sensor or the system is temporar-
ily unavailable.
●When the operating function is
disabled manually.
●When the power switch is turned
off.
■Conditions under which the
system will not detect a vehicle
The RCTA function is not designed
to detect the following types of vehi-
cles and/or objects:
●Vehicles approaching from directly
behind
●Vehicles backing up in a parking
space next to your vehicle
●Vehicles that the sensors cannot
detect due to obstructions
●Guardrails, walls, signs, parked
vehicles and similar stationary
objects
*
●Small motorcycles, bicycles, pedestrians, etc.
*
●Vehicles moving away from your
vehicle
●Vehicles approaching from the
parking spaces nex
t to your vehi-
cle
*
●The distance between the sensor
and approaching vehicle gets too
close
*: Depending on the conditions, detection of a v ehicle and/or
object may occur.
■Situations in which the system
may not operate properly
The RCTA function may not detect
vehicles correctly in the following
situations:
●When the sensor is misaligned
due to a strong impact to the sen-
sor or its surrounding area
●When mud, snow, ice, a sticker,
etc.,is covering the sensor or sur-
rounding area on the position
above the rear bumper
●When driving on a road surface
that is wet with standing water
during bad weather, such as
heavy rain, snow, or fog
●When multiple vehicles are
approaching with only a small gap
between each vehicle
●When a vehicle is approaching at
high speed
●When equipment that may
obstruct a sensor is installed, such
as a towing eyelet, bumper pro-
tector (an additional trim strip,
etc.), bicycle car rier, or snow plow
●When backing up on a slope with
a sharp change in grade
