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.
