Cross Traffic Alert

*
Cross Traffic Alert (CTA) is a driver support that
78
supplements BLIS and is designed to help the
driver detect traffic crossing behind the car
when it is reversing.
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.
CTA is only active if the car rolls backwards or if
reverse gear has been selected.
