Cross Traffic Alert (CTA) is a supplementary part
of Blind Spot Information and is intended to
detect vehicles crossing behind your vehicle

while you are backing up.
When does Cross Traffic Alert function
Principle for CTA
CTA supplements BLIS by warning the driver of
crossing traffic behind your vehicle, for example,
when backing out of a parking space.
It is primarily designed to detect another vehicle
but in certain cases may also detect pedestrians
or smaller objects such as bicycles.
CTA is only activated when the vehicle is rolling
rearward or backing up and is activated automati-
cally when the gear selector is put in reverse.
