REAR CROSS TRAFFIC ALERT (RCTA) (if so equipped)
WARNING Failure to follow the warnings and in- structions for proper use of the RCTA system could result in serious injury or death. •
The RCTA system is not a replacement for proper driving procedures and is not designed to prevent con- tact with vehicles or objects. When backing out of a parking space, al- ways use the side and rear mirrors and turn and look in the direction your vehicle will move. Never rely solely on the RCTA system.
The RCTA system will assist you when backing out from a parking space. When the vehicle is in reverse, the system is de- signed to detect other vehicles approach- ing from the right or left of the vehicle. If the system detects cross traffic, it will alert you.
RCTA SYSTEM OPERATION
1. Side BSW/RCTA Indicator Light 2. BSW/RCTA Indicator
The RCTA system can help alert the driver of an approaching vehicle when the driver is backing out of a parking space.
When the shift position is in R (Reverse) and the vehicle speed is less than approxi- mately 5 mph (8 km/h), the RCTA system is operational. If the radar detects an approaching vehicle from either side, the system chimes (once) and the side BSW/RCTA indicator light flashes on the side the vehicle is approach- ing from.
The RCTA system uses radar sensors O1 installed on both sides near the rear bum- per to detect an approaching vehicle. The radar sensors O1 can detect an ap- proaching vehicle from up to approxi- mately 66 ft (20 m) away.
HOW TO ENABLE/DISABLE THE RCTA SYSTEM
When the RCTA system is enabled in the vehicle information display, the system can be turned off temporarily by pushing the Parking Aids system switch. For additional information, see “Parking Aids system switch” (P. 2-51). Perform the following steps to enable or disable the RCTA system: 1. Press the button until “Settings” dis-
plays in the vehicle information display. Use the button to select “Driver As- sistance” and press ENTER.
2. Select “Parking Aids” and press ENTER. 3. Select “CTA” and press the ENTER button
to turn system on or off. 4. Push the Parking Aids system switch to
turn the system on or off.
NOTE: When enabling/disabling the system, the system setting will be retained even if the engine is restarted.
RCTA SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING Listed below are the system limitations for the RCTA system. Failure to operate the vehicle in accordance with these system limitations could result in seri- ous 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 sensors cannot detect every object such as: –
Pedestrians, bicycles, motor-
cycles, animals or child-operated toy vehicles
A vehicle that is passing at speeds greater than approximately 19 mph (30 km/h)
A vehicle that is passing at speeds lower than approximately 5 mph (8 km/h)
The radar sensors may not detect approaching vehicles in certain situ- ations: –
Illustration OA
: When a vehicle
parked next to you obstructs the beam of the radar sensor.
Illustration OB
: When the vehicle is parked in an angled parking space.
Illustration OC
: When the vehicle is parked on inclined ground.
Illustration OD
: When an ap- proaching vehicle turns into your vehicle's parking lot aisle.
Starting and driving
Illustration OE
: When the angle formed by your vehicle and ap- proaching vehicle is small.
The following conditions may reduce the ability of the radar to detect other vehicles: –
Severe weather –
Road spray –
Ice/frost/snow/dirt build-up on
the vehicle •Do not attach stickers (including transparent material), install acces- sories or apply additional paint near the radar sensors. These conditions may reduce the ability of the radar to detect other vehicles.
•Excessive noise (e.g., audio system volume, open vehicle window) will in- terfere with the chime sound, and it may not be heard.
Illustration 1 Illustration 2
NOTE: In the case of several vehicles approach- ing in a row (Illustration 1) or in the oppo- site direction (Illustration 2), a chime may not be sounded by the RCTA system af- ter the first vehicle passes the sensors.
SYSTEM TEMPORARILY UNAVAILABLE
When radar blockage is detected, the sys- tem will be deactivated automatically. The “Unavailable Side Radar Obstruction” warning message will appear and the BSW/RCTA indicator (white) will blink OA in the vehicle information display. The systems are not available until the conditions no longer exist. The radar sensors may be blocked by tem- porary ambient conditions such as splash- ing water, mist or fog. The blocked condition may also be caused by conditions such as ice, snow, frost or dirt obstructing the radar sensors.
NOTE: If the BSW system stops working, the RCTA system will also stop working. Action to take When the above conditions no longer exist, the system will resume automatically.
Malfunction When the RCTA system malfunctions, it will turn off automatically. The system mal- function warning message with the BSW/ RCTA indicator (orange) will appear in the vehicle information display.
NOTE: If the BSW system stops working, the RCTA system will also stop working. Action to take Stop the vehicle in a safe location, place the vehicle in the P (Park) position, turn the en- gine off and restart the engine. If the mes- sage continues to appear, have the system checked. It is recommended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE The two radar sensors O1 for the BSW and RCTA systems are located near the rear bumper. Always keep the area near the ra- dar sensors clean. The radar sensors may be blocked by tem- porary ambient conditions such as splash- ing water, mist or fog. The blocked condition may also be caused by objects such as ice, frost or dirt ob- structing the radar sensors. Check for and remove objects obstructing the area around the radar sensors.
Do not attach stickers (including transpar- ent material), install accessories or apply additional paint near the radar sensors. Do not strike or damage the area around the radar sensors. It is recommended that you visit a NISSAN dealer if the area around the radar sensors is damaged due to a collision.
