Cross Traffic Alert
*
Cross Traffic Alert(CTA) is a supplementary
driver support system to BLIS
to help the driver detect vehicles crossing
behind the vehicle while backing up.
CTA overview
CTA supplements BLIS by detecting traffic cross-
ing from the side, e.g. when backing out of a
parking space.
CTA is primarily designed to detect vehicles, but
in certain cases can also detect pedestrians or
smaller objects such as bicycles.
CTA is only active when the vehicle is moving
backward or if reverse gear is engaged.
