Cross Traffic Alert
*
Cross Traffic Alert (CTA) is a driver support that
77
supplements BLIS and is designed to help the
driver detect traffic crossing behind the car
when it is reversing.
The auto-brake subfunction can stop the car in
the event of a risk of collision with an unob-
served vehicle.
Principle of CTA
CTA supplements BLIS by detecting the
approach of crossing traffic during reversing,
such as when reversing out of a parking space.
CTA is primarily designed to detect vehicles. In
favourable conditions it may also be able to
detect smaller objects, such as cyclists and
pedestrians.
