CTA and reverse sensing system (RSS) interaction
CTA works along with the reverse sensing system (RSS) (if equipped).
Become familiar with the warning tones of both systems.
BLIS
威
and/or CTA on/off and disable operation
The BLIS
威
and/or the CTA can be turned off via the message center. If
either the BLIS
威
and/or the CTA is turned off, the systems will
automatically turn back on at the next ignition key cycle. When either
the BLIS
威
and/or the CTA is turned off, the message center displays
BLIND SPOT SYS OFF and/or CTA SYSTEM OFF. When the BLIS
威
and/or the CTA system is off, the driver will not receive alerts. Refer to
Message center
in the
Instrument Cluster
chapter.
Note:
If the system cannot be turned off, refer to
MyKey
威
in the
Locks
and Security
chapter for more information.
The BLIS
威
and/or the CTA can be disabled permanently even after an
ignition key cycle. This must be done by your authorized dealer.
Note:
Once either of the systems are disabled, enabling must also be performed
at the dealership. When disabled, the message center will display BLIND
SPOT DISABLED and/or CTA DISABLED.
BLIS
威
and/or CTA fault operation
If the BLIS
威
and/or CTA senses a fault on either the left or right sensor,
the BLIS
威
alert indicator will go on and remain on and the message center
will display BLIND SPOT SYSTEM FAULT or CROSS TRAFFIC SYSTEM
FAULT. For faults that may cause the associated left or right alert indicator
not to illuminate, only the message center faults will occur.
Blocked sensor
An extreme build-up of materials on
the quarter panel fascias such as
mud or snow can cause degraded
performance of the BLIS
威
. Also,
heavy rain can cause the same
effect. The BLIS
威
can detect this
degraded performance and issue a
blocked warning to the driver via
the message center. If a condition is determined by the system, the
message center displays BLIND SPOT NOT AVAILABLE or CROSS
TRAFFIC NOT AVAILABLE warning and the appropriate left and/or right
exterior mirror alert indicator will illuminate. The message center
warning may be cleared by the driver but the exterior mirror alert
indicator will remain illuminated.
