Toyota Corolla (E210): RCTA (Rear Cross Traffic Alert) function

The RCTA function uses the BSM rear side radar sensors installed behind the rear bumper. This function is intended to assist the driver in checking areas that are not easily visible when backing up.

WARNING

Over reliance on this function may lead to an accident resulting death or serious injury.
