In an angled parking slot CTA may be completely "blind"
on one side.
Blind CTA sector.
Sector in which CTA can detect/"see".
However, as your car slowly reverses, the angle it
makes with the obstructing vehicle/object
changes and the blind sector rapidly decreases.
Examples of further limitations
The auto-brake subfunction only detects
•
moving vehicles and therefore cannot "see"
and brake for stationary obstacles, a cyclist
or a pedestrian, for example.
Dirt, ice and snow covering the sensors may
•
reduce the functions and deactivate alerts.

This function uses the car's camera and radar
units, which have certain general limitations.
