Cross Traffic Alert (CTA) is a driver support
that supplements BLIS
88
and is designed to
help the driver detect traffic crossing behind
the car when it is reversing.
The auto-brake subfunction can help the
driver to stop the car in the event of a risk of
collision with an unobserved vehicle.
Examples of areas where CTA can assist the driver to
detect obstacles during reversing.
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
Park Assist
System graphic on the screen.
•
an icon on the Park assist camera top
view.

If the driver does not observe the warning
from CTA and a collision is unavoidable, the
auto-brake function takes effect to stop the
car, after which the driver display shows an
explanatory text message on why the car was
braked.
WARNING
•
The function is supplementary driver
support intended to facilitate driving
and make it safer – it cannot handle all
situations in all traffic, weather and
road conditions.
•
The driver is advised to read all sec-
tions in the Owner's Manual that relate
to this function to learn about factors
such as its limitations and what the
driver should be aware of before using
the system.
•
Driver support functions are not a sub-
stitute for the driver's attention and
judgement. The driver is always
responsible for ensuring the car is
driven in a safe manner, at the appro-
priate speed, with an appropriate dis-
tance to other vehicles, and in accord-
ance with current traffic rules and reg-
ulations.
