Driving
Monitor is turned on
• When towing with the vehicle
● Instances of the Blind Spot Moni-
tor unnecessarily detecting a vehi-
cle and/or object may increase in
the following situations:
• When the sensor is misaligned
due to a strong impact to the sen-
sor or its surrounding area
• When the distance between your
vehicle and a guardrail, wall, etc.
that enters the detection area is
short
• When driving up and down con-
secutive steep inclines, such as
hills, dips in the road, etc.
• When vehicle lanes are narrow, or
when driving on the edge of a
lane, and a vehicle traveling in a
lane other than the adjacent lanes
enters the detection area
• When driving on roads with sharp
bends, consecutive curves, or
uneven surfaces
• When the tires are slipping or
spinning
• When the distance between your
vehicle and a following vehicle is
short
• When an accessory (such as a
bicycle carrier) is installed to the

: If equipped
RCTA (Rear Cross Traf-
fic Alert)
*
The RCTA function uses the
BSM rear side radar sensors
installed behind the rear
bumper. This function is
intended to assist the driver
in checking areas that are
not easily visible when
backing up.
■ Cautions regarding the use of
the system
The driver is solely responsible for
safe driving. Always drive safely,
taking care to observe your sur-
roundings. The RCTA function is
only a supplementary function
which alerts the driver that a vehi-
cle is approaching from the right
or left at the rear of the vehicle. As
the RCTA function may not func-
tion correctly under certain condi-
tions, the driver’s own visual
confirmation of safety is neces-
sary. Over reliance on this func-
tion may lead to an accident
resulting death or serious injury.

operate properly
