Activating/Deactivating Cross Traffic Alert - Volvo XC40 Owner's Manual

WARNING
•
The Cross Traffic Alert function is supple-
mentary driver support intended to facili-
tate driving and help make it safer – it
cannot handle all situations in all traffic,
weather and road conditions.
•
The auto-brake subfunction can only
detect and apply the brakes for other
moving vehicles - not for e.g. stationary
obstacles, cyclists or pedestrians.
•
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.

The CTA
limited functionality in certain situations.
CTA does not function optimally in all situations
and has certain limitations. The CTA sensors, for
example, cannot "see" through other parked
vehicles or objects blocking the vehicle.
Below are a few examples of situations in which
CTA's field of vision may be initially limited and
approaching vehicles may therefore not be
detected until they are very close to your vehicle:
The vehicle is parked very far into a parking space.
