REAR CROSS TRAFFIC ALERT (RCTA)

interference that may cause undesired

operation of the device.

Frequency bands: 24.05 – 24.25 Ghz

WARNING

The field strength of SRR3-B is below

250 millivolts/m measured at 3 metres

with an average detector.

Failure to follow the warnings and

instructions for proper use of the

RCTA system could result in serious

injury or death.

This device contains licence-exempt

transmitter(s)/receiver(s) that comply

with Innovation, Science and Economic

Development Canada’s licence-exempt

RSS(s). Operation is subject to the fol-

lowing two conditions:

.

The RCTA system is not a replace-

ment for proper driving proce-

dures and is not designed to

prevent contact with vehicles or

objects. When backing out of a

parking space, always use the

side and rear mirrors and turn

and look in the direction your

vehicle will move. Never rely so-

lely on the RCTA system.

1. This device may not cause interfer-

ence.

2. This device must accept any inter-

ference, including interference that may

cause undesired operation of the de-

vice.

The RCTA system will assist you when

backing out from a parking space. When

the vehicle is in reverse, the system is

designed to detect other vehicles ap-

proaching from the right or left of the

vehicle. If the system detects cross traffic,

it will alert you.

Radiofrequency radiation exposure in-

formation:

This equipment complies with radiation

exposure limits set forth for an uncon-

trolled environment. This equipment

should be installed and operated with

minimum distance of 20 cm between

the radiator and your body.

RCTA SYSTEM LIMITATIONS

WARNING

Listed below are the system limita-

tions for the RCTA system. Failure to

operate the vehicle in accordance

with these system limitations could

result in serious injury or death.

.

Always check surroundings and

turn to check what is behind you

before backing up. The radar

sensors detect approaching

(moving) vehicles. The radar sen-

sors cannot detect every object

such as:

— Pedestrians, bicycles, motor-

cycles, animals or child-oper-

ated toy vehicles

— A vehicle that is passing at

speeds greater than approxi-

mately 19 MPH (30 km/h)

JVS0479X

— A vehicle that is passing at

speeds lower than approxi-

mately 5 MPH (8 km/h)

.

The radar sensors may not detect

approaching vehicles in certain

situations:

— Illustration : When a vehicle

parked next to you obstructs

the beam of the radar sensor.

— Illustration : When the vehi-

cle is parked in an angled

parking space.

.

Excessive noise (e.g. audio sys-

tem volume, open vehicle win-

dow) will interfere with the

chime sound, and it may not be

heard.

— Illustration : When the vehi-

cle is parked on inclined

ground.

: When an ap-

proaching vehicle turns into

your vehicle’s parking lot aisle.

— Illustration : When the angle

formed by your vehicle and

approaching vehicle is small

.

The following conditions may re-

duce the ability of the radar to

detect other vehicles:

— Severe weather

— Road spray

— Ice/frost/dirt build-up on the

vehicle

Do not attach stickers (including

transparent material), install ac-

cessories or apply additional

paint near the radar sensors.

These conditions may reduce the

ability of the radar to detect other

vehicles

NOTE:

In the case of several vehicles ap-

proaching in a row (Illustration 1) or in

the opposite direction (Illustration 2), a

chime may not be sounded by the RCTA

system after the first vehicle passes the

sensors.
