Detection areas
The detection area is shown as illustrated.
CAUTION
l
In certain situations, the RCTA may not de-
tect a vehicle in the detection areas. Some of
these situations include:
•
When the reversing speed of your vehicle
is approximately 18 km/h (11 mph) or
higher.
CAUTION
•
If the sensor detection area is blocked by
a nearby object, such as a wall or parked
vehicle.
•
When a vehicle is approaching from
straight behind your vehicle.
•
When your vehicle is exiting from an an-
gled parking spot.
•
Immediately after the RCTA has been
turned on.
•
Immediately after the operation mode has
been put in ON.
•
When the bumper surface around the sen-
sor is covered with dirt, snow and ice, etc.
•
When the sensor becomes extremely hot
or cold, such as after the vehicle has been
parked for a prolonged time under the
blazing sun or in cold weather.
l
If the bumper has experienced an impact, the
sensor may have been damaged and the
RCTA may not function properly. Have the
vehicle inspected at a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS Authorized Service Point.
