WARNING
•
BLIS and CTA are information systems,
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 shoulders to make sure
that you can safely change lanes or back
up.
•
As the driver, you have full responsibility
for changing lanes/backing up in a safe
manner.

limitations
CTA functionality may be reduced in certain sit-
uations.
Limitations
CTA has limitations in certain situations, for
example, the CTA sensors cannot "see" through
other parked vehicles or obstructions.
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:
The vehicle is pulled far into a parking space
In angled parking spaces, CTA may be "blind" on one
side
CTA's blind area
CTA's "field of vision"
However, as you back your vehicle out of a park-
ing space, CTA's "field of vision" expands.
Examples of other limitations include:
•
Dirt, ice or snow obstructing the sensors may
reduce the system's function or make it
impossible to detect other vehicles or
objects.
•
CTA is deactivated automatically if a trailer,
bicycle rack or anything similar is attached to
the vehicle's electrical system.
•
For optimal performance, bicycle racks, lug-
gage holders, etc. should not be mounted on
the vehicle's trailer hitch-
