RCTA (Rear Cross Traf-
fic Alert)*
The RCTA function uses the
BSM rear side radar sen-
sors installed behind the
rear bumper. This function
is intended to assist the
driver in checking areas
that are not easily visible
when backing up.
WARNING
■Cautions regarding the use of
the system
The driver is solely responsible for
safe driving. Always drive safely,
taking care to observe your sur-
roundings.
The RCTA function is only a sup-
plementary function which alerts
the driver that a vehicle is
approaching from the right or left
at the rear of the vehicle.
As the RCTA function may not
function correctly under certain
conditions, the driver’s own visual
confirmation of safety is neces-
sary.
Over reliance on this function may
lead to an accident resulting
death or serious injury.

PKSB (Parking Sup-
port Brake)*
The Parking Support Brake
system consists of the fol-
lowing functions that oper-
ate when driving at a low
speed or backing up, such
as when parking. When the
system determines that the
probability of a collision
with a detected object or
pedestrian is high, a warn-
ing operates to urge the
driver to take evasive
action. If the system deter-
mines that the possibility of
a collision with a detected
object or pedestrian is
extremely high, the brakes
are automatically applied to
help avoid the collision or
help reduce the impact of
the collision.

●Brake control
• The Parking Support Brake is dis- abled.
• Approximately 2 seconds have elapsed since the vehicle was
stopped by brake control.
• The brake pedal is depressed after the vehicle is stopped by
brake control.
• A vehicle is no longer approaching from the right or left at the rear of
the vehicle.
■Detection range
The detection area of the moving
vehicles rear of the vehicle differs
from the detection area of the RCTA
function ( P.324). Therefore, even
if the RCTA function detects a vehi-
cle and provides an alert, the mov-
ing vehicles rear of the vehicle may
not start operating.
■RCTA buzzer
Regardless of weather the RCTA
function is on o r off, if the PKSB
(Parking Support Brake) system is
not disabled, when the brake control
operates, the buzze r will sounds to
alert the driver.

Pedestrians Rear of
the Vehicle*
If the rear camera sensor
detects a pedestrian behind
the vehicle while backing
up and the system deter-
mines that the possibility of
colliding with the detected
pedestrian is high, a buzzer
will sound. If the system
determines that the possi-
bility of colliding with the
detected pedestrian is
extremely high, the brakes
will be applied automati-
cally to help reduce the
impact of the collision.

■Sensor detection information
The detection range of the system
differs from the detection range of
the intuitive parking assist-sensor.
Therefore, even if t he intuitive park-
ing assist-sensor detects a static
object and provides a warning, the
PKSB (Parking Support Brake) sys-
tem may not start operating.
■Objects which the sensor may
not be properly detected
 P.314
■Situations in which the system
may operate even though there
is no possibility of a collision
In addition to the situations in which
stationary objects around the vehi-
cle ( P.337) may not be detected,
objects may not be detected by the
sensors in the fo llowing situations
When moving sideways, such as
when parallel parking: P. 3 3 8
■Detection of objects along the
sides of the vehicle
●Objects along the sides of the
vehicle are not instantaneously
detected. The location of objects
in relation to the vehicle is esti-
mated after they are first detected
by the front or rear side sensors,
or side cameras. Therefore, after
the power switch is changed to
ON, even if an object is along the
side of the vehicle, it may not be
detected until the vehicle has
been driven a small amount and
the side sensors o r side cameras
completely scan the areas along
the sides of the vehicle.
