*
● Small motorcycles, bicycles, pedestrians,
etc.
*
● Vehicles moving away from your vehicle

of a vehicle 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 sensor or its sur-
rounding area.
● When mud, snow, ice, a sticker, etc., is
covering the sensor or surrounding area
on the rear bumper.
● When driving on a wet road surface, such
as in a puddle, while in inclement
weather, such as heavy rain, snow, fog,
etc.
● When multiple vehicles are approaching
with only a small gap between each vehi-
cle.
● When a vehicle is approaching at high
speed.
● When equipment that may obstruct a
sensor is installed, such as a towing eye-
let, bumper protector (an additional trim
strip, etc.), bicycle carrier, or snow plow.
● When backing up on a slope with a sharp
change in grade.
● When backing out of a sharp angle park-
ing spot.
● Immediately after the RCTA function is
turned on
● Immediately after the hybrid system is
started with the RCTA function on
● When the sensors cannot detect a vehi-
cle due to obstructions
● When towing with the vehicle
● When there is a significant difference in
height between your vehicle and the
vehicle that enters the detection area.
● When a sensor or the area around a sen-
sor is extremely hot or cold.
● If the suspension has been modified or
tires of a size other than specified are
installed.
● If the front of the vehicle is raised or low-
ered due to the carried load.
● When turning while backing up.
