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.

Cross Traffic Alert limitations
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.

Examples of further limitations
•Dirt, ice and snow covering the sensors may reduce functionality and prevent the systemfrom providing warnings. For additional infor-mation, see the section "Recommendedmaintenance for Cross Traffic Alert".
• CTA is automatically deactivated if a trailer,bicycle holder or similar is connected to thevehicle's electrical system.
• For CTA to function optimally, bicycle hold-ers, luggage racks or similar should not bemounted on the vehicle's towbar.

Park Assist*
The Park Assist function can help the driver
when maneuvering in tight spaces by indicating distances to obstacles using audible signals andgraphics in the center display.
Display view showing obstacle zones and sensor sec- tors.
The center display shows an overview of the vehi- cle in relation to objects that have been detected. The marked sector indicates where the obstacle is located. The closer the vehicle symbol is to amarked sector, the closer the detected obstacleis to your vehicle. The audible signals will also speed up the closer the obstacle is to the vehicle. The volume of theaudio system will be automatically lowered. Audible signals for obstacles in front and to the sides of the vehicle are active when the vehicle is moving but will cease after the vehicle has beenstationary for approx. 2 seconds. Audible signalsfor obstacles behind the vehicle will remain activeeven when the vehicle is stationary. If a detected obstacle is within 30 cm (1 ft) from the front or rear of the vehicle, the tone willbecome constant and the active sensor's fieldclosest to the vehicle symbol will be filled in. The volume of the Park Assist audible signals can be adjusted while the signal is being given using the
>II knob or in the center display's Top
view under
Settings.
NOTE
• Acoustic warnings are only given for objects directly in front of the vehicle'spath.
WARNING
•The Parking Assist function is supple- mentary driver support intended to facili-tate driving and help make it safer – itcannot handle all situations in all traffic,weather and road conditions.
• The parking sensors have dead/blindspots where objects cannot be detected.
• Pay particular attention to people andanimals near the vehicle.
• Parking Assist is not a substitute for thedriver's attention and judgment. The driveris always responsible for ensuring thevehicle is driven in a safe manner, at theappropriate speed, with an appropriatedistance to other vehicles, and in accord-ance with current traffic rules and regula-tions.
