backing out of a parking spot. RCTA is active when your vehicle is in
reverse and your vehicle speed is 0 to 8 mph (13 km/h).

WARNING: RCTA is only a supplementary system to help aid when backing up,
however RCTA has limitations. The system does not detect all vehicles, especially
a motorcycle. Do not rely solely on the RCTA. Relying solely on the RCTA may
cause an unexpected accident resulting in serious injury. Always back up slowly.
