When does Cross Traffic Alert function
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 vehicle but in certain cases may also detect pedestrians or smaller objects such as bicycles.
CTA is only activated when the vehicle is rolling rearward or when the gear selector is put in reverse.
If CTA detects that something is approaching your vehicle from the side:
- An audible signal indicates will sound from either the left or right infotainment system speakers, depending on which the side of your vehicle the approaching vehicle/ object has been detected.
- An icon illuminates in the Park Assist* system's graphic in the instrument panel.
- An icon is also shown in the Park Assist Camera's* Top view.
