*
●The distance between the sensor and approaching vehicle gets to o close
*: Depending on the conditions, detection of a vehicle and/or obj ect may
occur.

weather, such as heavy rain, snow, or fog
● When multiple vehicles are approaching with only a small gap be tween
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 protector (an additional trim strip, etc.), bicy cle carrier, or
snow plow
●
Vehicles that the sensors cannot detect
due to obstructions

3324-5. Using the driving support systems
●When towing a trailer
● When there is a significant difference in height between your vehicle and the

● When a sensor or the area around a sensor is extremely hot or c old
● If the suspension has been modified or tires of a size other th an specified
are installed

ity of a collision
Instances of the RCTA function unnecessary detecting a vehicle and/or object

eyelet, bumper protector (an additional trim strip, etc.), bicy cle carrier, or
snow plow
● When there are spinning objects near your vehicle such as the f an of an air

and metal objects, such as a guardrail,
wall, sigh, or parked vehicle, which may
reflect electrical waves toward the rear
of the vehicle, is short
● When a vehicle passes by the side of
your vehicle
● When a detected vehicle turns while
approaching the vehicle

3344-5. Using the driving support systems
●When the distance between your vehicle and a guardrail, wall, etc., that
enters the detection area is short
● Gratings and gutters
● When a sensor or the area around a sensor is extremely hot or c old
● If the suspension has been modified or tires of a size other th an specified
