Cross Traffic Alert*

CTA is a supplementary driver support system
86
to BLIS that is intended to help the driver
detect vehicles crossing behind the vehicle
while backing up.
CTA overview.
CTA supplements BLIS by detecting traffic cross-
ing 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 pedestrians or
smaller objects such as bicycles.
CTA is only active when the vehicle is moving
backward or if reverse gear is engaged.

The responsibility for reversing the vehicle
safely and using good judgment always
rests with the driver.
•
Cross Traffic Alert is not a substitute for
the driver's attention and judgment. The
driver is always responsible for ensuring
the vehicle is driven in a safe manner, at
the appropriate speed, with an appropri-
ate distance to other vehicles, and in
accordance with current traffic rules and
regulations.
