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:
