Cross Traffic Alert (CTA)
*
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 if a trailer's wiring is con-
nected to the vehicle's electrical system.
Maintenance
The CTA sensors are located on the inside of the
rear fenders/bumper.
Keep the highlighted area clean (on both sides of the
vehicle)
For the system to function optimally, the area
over and around the sensors must be kept clean.
Do not attach any objects, tape, decals, etc., on
the surface of the sensors.
CAUTION
Repairs to the BLIS/CTA systems and/or
repainting the rear bumper should only be
done by a trained and qualified Volvo service
technician.
