changes in relation to the obstructing vehicle/
object and its blind zone is reduced.
Examples of further limitations
The auto brake subfunction only detects
•
vehicles in motion and may therefore not
"see" and brake for e.g. stationary obsta-
cles, a cyclists or a pedestrian.
Dirt, ice and snow covering the sensors
•
may reduce functionality and prevent the
system from providing warnings.
CTA is automatically deactivated if a
•
trailer, bicycle holder or similar is con-
nected to the vehicle's electrical system.
For CTA to function effectively, bicycle
•
holders, luggage racks or similar should
not be mounted on the vehicle's towbar.
NOTE
The function uses the vehicle's radar sen-
sors, which have certain general limita-
tions.
