Cross Traffic Alert*
Cross Traffic Alert(CTA) is a supplementary
68
driver support system to BLIS
intended to help the driver detect vehicles
crossing behind the vehicle while backing up.
The auto-brake subfunction can help the
driver stop the car if there is a risk of collision
with an unobserved vehicle.
Examples of areas in which CTA can help the driver
detect obstacles while backing up.
CTA supplements BLIS by detecting traffic
crossing 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 pedes-
trians or smaller objects such as bicycles.
