Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)
System
If equipped, Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)
displays ared warning triangle with aleft
or right pointing arrow on the infotainment
display to warn of traffic coming from the left
or right. This system detects objects coming
from up to 20 m (65 ft) from the left or right
side of the vehicle. When an object is detected,
either three beeps sound from the left or right,
or three Safety Alert Seat pulses occur on the
left or right side, depending on the direction of
the detected vehicle.
Use caution while backing up when towing
atrailer, as the RCTA detection zones that
extend out from the back of the vehicle do not
move farther back when a trailer is attached to
the vehicle.
