BSD/RCTA OFF switch
BSD/RCTA OFF indicator light
If the BSD/RCTA OFF switch is pressed, the BSD/RCTA OFF indicator light appears on the combination meter, and the BSD/RCTA is deactivated.
Press the switch again to activate the BSD/ RCTA. The BSD/RCTA OFF indicator light will disappear.
When this occurs, the BSD/RCTA approach indicator light on the side of the rearview mirror illuminates for a few seconds and then turns off.
NOTE
- In the following cases, the system
may not operate properly due to
blocked radar waves. Press the BSD/
RCTA OFF switch to deactivate the
system.
- When towing a trailer
- When a bicycle carrier or other carrier item is fitted to the rear of the vehicle.
- When using a chassis dynamometer or free roller device, etc.
- When running the engine and making the wheels rotate while lifting up the vehicle
- If the ignition switch is turned to the “LOCK”/“OFF” position, the last known status of the system is maintained. For example, if the ignition switch is turned to the “LOCK”/“OFF” position with the BSD/RCTA deactivated, the BSD/RCTA will remain deactivated the next time the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position.
