DRIVER SUPPORT
* Option/accessory. 350
Cross Traffic Alert
*
CTA
85
is a driver support that supplements
BLIS
86
and is designed to help the driver detect
traffic crossing behind the car when it is revers-
ing.
Principle of CTA.
CTA supplements BLIS by detecting the
approach of crossing traffic during reversing,
such as when reversing out of a parking space.
CTA is primarily designed to detect vehicles. In
favourable conditions it may also be able to
detect smaller objects, such as cyclists and
pedestrians.
CTA is only active if the car rolls backwards or if
reverse gear has been selected.
If CTA senses that something is approaching
from the side, this is also indicated with:
•
an acoustic signal - the sound is heard in the
left-hand or right-hand speaker according to
the direction from which the object
approaches.
• an illuminated icon in the PAS 87 graphic on
the screen.
•
an icon on the Park assist camera top view.

WARNING
•
The Cross Traffic Alert function is supple-
mentary driver support intended to facili-
tate driving and make it safer – it cannot
handle all situations in all traffic, weather
and road conditions.
•
The responsibility for reversing the car
safely and using good judgement always
rests with the driver.
•
Cross Traffic Alert is not a substitute for
the driver's attention and judgement. The
driver is always responsible for ensuring
the car is driven in a safe manner, at the
appropriate speed, with an appropriate
distance to other vehicles, and in accord-
ance with current traffic rules and regula-
tions.
