What is the Rcta on a Lexus?

The RCTA on a Lexus stands for Rear Cross Traffic Alert. It is a safety feature that uses radar sensors to detect vehicles approaching from the right or left at the rear of the vehicle. When a vehicle is detected, the RCTA function alerts the driver by flashing the outside rear view mirror indicators and sounding a buzzer .
The RCTA function is designed to assist the driver in checking areas that are not easily visible when backing up. It can be particularly helpful in parking lots or situations where visibility is limited. The RCTA function is only a supplementary function, and the driver should always rely on their own visual confirmation of safety.
It’s worth noting that the RCTA function is part of the Lexus Safety System+, which is a suite of safety features that come standard in Lexus vehicles.
