The BSD/RCTA will operate when all of the
following conditions are met.
The ignition switch is in the “ON”
position.
The BSD/RCTA warning light and BSD/
RCTA OFF indicator light are turned off...
Other information:
When the outside temperature is 378F
(38C) or less, the icy road surface warning
will illuminate to inform the driver that the
road surface may be frozen.
NOTE
The outside temperature indicator
shows the temperature in the area
around the sensor...
If this light illuminates when the engine is
running, it may indicate that the charging
system is not working properly.
If the light illuminates while driving or does
not turn off after the engine starts, stop the
engine at the first safe opportunity and
check the alternator belt...
