BLIS* – Cross Traffic Alert (CTA)
Cross Traffic Alert (CTA) is a supplementary
BLIS
12
function intended to detect vehicles
crossing behind your vehicle while you are
backing up.
Park assist/CTA button
On vehicles equipped with the optional Park
assist system (p. 232), Cross Traffic Alert
(CTA) can be deactivated/reactivated by
pressing the Park assist button on the center
console. The BLIS indicator lights on the front
doors will flash when CTA is reactivated by
pressing the button.
WARNING
•
BLIS and CTA are information sys-
tems, NOT warning or safety systems
and do not function in all situations.
•
BLIS and CTA do not eliminate the
need for you to visually confirm the
conditions around you, and the need
for you to turn your head and should-
ers to make sure that you can safely
change lanes or back up.
•
As the driver, you have full responsibil-
ity for changing lanes/backing up in a
safe manner.
When does CTA function
How CTA works
CTA supplements BLIS by warning the driver
of crossing traffic behind your vehicle, for
example, when backing out of a parking
space.
It is primarily designed to detect another vehi-
cle but in certain cases may also detect
pedestrians or smaller objects such as bicy-
cles.
CTA is only activated when the vehicle is
backing up and is activated automatically
when the gear selector is put in reverse.
•
An audible signal indicates that CTA has
detected something that is approaching
from the side. The signal will come from
either the left or right audio system
speakers, depending on which the side of
your vehicle the approaching vehicle/
object has been detected.
•
CTA also provides a warning by illuminat-
ing the BLIS indicator lights.
•
An icon will also illuminate in the Park
assist graphic on the center console dis-
play.
Limitations
CTA has limitations in certain situations, for
example, the CTA sensors cannot "see"
through other parked vehicles or obstruc-
tions.
The following are several examples where
CTA's "field of vision" may initially be limited
and approaching vehicles cannot be detected
until they are too close:
