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.

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.
