Cross Traffic Alert *
CTA 85
is a supplementary driver support system
to BLIS 86
that is intended to help the driver
detect vehicles crossing behind the vehicle while backing up.
CTA overview.
CTA supplements BLIS by detecting traffic cross- ing from the side, e.g. when backing out of aparking space. CTA is primarily designed to detect vehicles, but in certain cases can also detect pedestrians orsmaller objects such as bicycles. CTA is only active when the vehicle is moving backward or if reverse gear is engaged. If CTA detects that something is approachingyour vehicle from the side:
• an audible signal will sound from either theleft or right speaker, depending on whichside of your vehicle the object is approachingfrom.
• an icon will illuminate in the PAS 87
graphic
on the screen.
• an icon will appear in the Park Assist Cam-era's Top view.

CTA 90
functionality may be reduced in certain
situations.
CTA does not function optimally in all situations and has certain limitations. The CTA sensors, forexample, cannot "see" through other parkedvehicles or objects blocking the vehicle. Below are a few examples of situations in which CTA's field of vision may be initially limited andapproaching vehicles may therefore not bedetected until they are very close to your vehicle:
The vehicle is parked very far into a parking space.
In a diagonal parking space, CTA may be completely "blind" on one side of your vehicle.
CTA's blind zone.
CTA's field of vision.
However, as you back your vehicle slowly out of a parking space, CTA's field of vision changes inrelation to the obstructing vehicle/object and itsblind zone is reduced.
