Cross Traffic Alert*
Cross Traffic Alert (CTA) is a driver support
111
that supplements BLIS
and is designed to
help the driver detect traffic crossing behind
the car when it is reversing.
The auto-brake subfunction can help the
driver to stop the car in the event of a risk of
collision with an unobserved vehicle.
Examples of areas where Cross Traffic Alert can
assist the driver to detect obstacles during reversing.
The function is primarily designed to detect
vehicles. In favourable conditions it may also
be able to detect smaller objects, such as
cyclists and pedestrians.

from the function and a collision is unavoida-

to stop the car, after which the driver display
shows an explanatory text message on why
the car was braked.
