Rear Cross Traffic Alert(RCTA)
*
The RCTA assists the driver in checking
the area to the rear of the vehicle, such
as while reversing out of a parking
space. When a vehicle approaching
from the rear on the left or right is
detected, various screen displays and
warning sounds notify the driver of the
danger.
Warnings and Cautions
for Using the Rear Cross Tra ffi c Alert (RCTA)
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the RCTA.
The RCTA is a system to assist the
driver in checking the area to the rear
of the vehicle while reversing. Due to
certain limitations with the operation
of the system, the BSM warning light
may not
flash or it might be delayed
even though a vehicle is at the rear of
your vehicle. Always make it your
responsibility as a driver to check the
rear.

Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)
Operating the RCTA
The RCTA operates when all of the
following conditions are met.
The vehicle is about to be driven in
reverse.
The system detects an approaching
vehicle.
When the RCTA operates, the driver is
notified of the danger by flashing of
the BSM warning lights, a warning
indication, and a warning sound.
NOTE
The system may operate even if a
vehicle is not approaching
depending on the conditions around
your vehicle.

turned off when the trailer's
electrical connector is connected.
When pulling a trailer other than
with a Mazda genuine trailer hitch,
or while an accessory such as a
bicycle carrier is installed to the rear
of the vehicle, turn off the RCTA.
Otherwise, the radar’s radio waves
will be blocked causing the RCTA to
not operate normally.
The brightness of the BSM warning
lights is linked to the panel light
control.
