Driver assistance systems
Side Assist with Rear Cross
T
raffic Alert (RCTA)
Introduction
The lane departure warning (LCA) helps
det
ect traffic that is at the rear of the vehi-
cle.
The rear cross traffic alert (RCTA) helps
the driver when backing out of a parallel
parking spot and when manoeuvring.
WARNING
The smart technology incorporated into
the blind spot det
ector (BSD) with parking
assistance (RCTA) included cannot over-
come the limits imposed by the laws of
physics; it only works within the limits of the
system. Accidents and severe injury may
occur if the blind spot detection system or
the rear cross traffic alert are used negli-
gently or involuntarily. The system is not a
replacement for driver awareness.
●
Adapt your speed and safe distance to
the vehicle in front of you at all times to suit
visibility, weather, road and traffic condi-
tions.
●
Keep your hands on the wheel at all times
to be ready to intervene in the steering at
any time.
●
Pay attention to the indicator lamps that
may come on in the external rear view mir-
rors and on the instrument cluster, and fol-
l
ow any instructions they may give.
●
The lane departure warning could react
to any special constructions that might be
present to the sides of the vehicle, e.g. high
or irregular dividers. This may cause erro-
neous warnings.
●
Never use the lane departure warning on
unpaved roads. The lane departure warn-
ing has been designed for use on paved
roads.
●
Always pay attention to the vehicle's sur-
roundings.
●
The control lamps of the lane departure
warning may have limited functionality due
to solar radiation.
Note
If the blind spot detector with parking as-
sist
ant does not work as described in this
chapter, stop using it and contact a speci-
alised workshop.
