Subaru Forester: BSD/RCTA (if equipped) / Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)
- Operating range
The system notifies the driver of another vehicle approaching from either side when driving in reverse. This feature helps the driver check the rear and side areas of the vehicle when moving backward.
If the system detects a vehicle approaching from either side while moving backward, it warns the driver of dangers in the following way.
- The BSD/RCTA approach indicator light(s) on the outside mirror(s) flashes.
- A warning buzzer sounds.
- An icon appears on the rear view camera screen (audio/navigation monitor)
Limitations of the detectability of RCTA
Since the detectability of RCTA is limited, the RCTA may not operate properly in angled parking.
Example 1
- The detection range of the radar sensors
- Area out of detection range of the radar sensors
- Vehicle that may not be detected.
- Parked vehicle
WARNING
An approaching vehicle (A) may not be detected because the detection range is limited by the parked vehicle (B). Always be sure to check the surroundings when reversing the vehicle.
Example 2
1) The detection range of the radar sensors
C) Vehicle that may be detected.
NOTE
The system may detect that a vehicle (C) is passing in front of your vehicle. Always be sure to check the surroundings when reversing the vehicle.
