Cross Traffic Alert *71
Cross Traffic Alert(CTA) is a supplementary driver support system to BLIS 72
that is
intended to help the driver detect vehicles crossing behind the vehicle while backing up. The auto-brake subfunction can help the
driver stop the car if there is a risk of collision with an unobserved vehicle.
Examples of areas in which CTA can help the driver detect obstacles while backing up.
CTA supplements BLIS by detecting traffic crossing from the side, e.g. when backing outof a parking space. CTA is primarily designed to detect vehicles, but in certain cases can also detect pedes-trians or smaller objects such as bicycles. CTA is only active when the vehicle is movingbackward or if reverse gear is engaged. If CTA detects that something is approaching your vehicle from the side:
an audible signal will sound from eitherthe left or right speaker, depending onwhich side of your vehicle the object isapproaching from.
an icon will illuminate in the
Park Assist
System graphic on the screen.
an icon will appear in the Park Assist Cam- era's Top view.
Illuminated CTA icon in the
Park Assist System
graphic on the screen.
If the driver does not pay attention to the warning from CTA and a collision is unavoida- ble, the
auto brake function will intervene to
stop the vehicle and a text will be shown onthe instrument panel to explain why the vehi-cle was braked.
WARNING
The function is supplementary driver support intended to facilitate drivingand help make it safer – it cannot han-dle all situations in all traffic, weatherand road conditions.
The driver is advised to read all sec-tions in the Owner's Manual about thisfunction to learn of its limitations,which the driver must be aware ofbefore using the function.
Driver support functions are not a sub-stitute for the driver's attention andjudgment. The driver is always respon-sible for ensuring the vehicle is drivenin a safe manner, at the appropriatespeed, with an appropriate distance toother vehicles, and in accordance withcurrent traffic rules and regulations.

limitations
The Cross Traffic Alert (CTA) function with auto brake may have limited functionality in
certain situations. Auto-brake is active atspeeds under 15 km/h (9.3 mph).
WARNING
The auto-brake sub-function can only
detect and apply the brakes for other mov- ing vehicles – not for e.g. stationary obsta-
cles, cyclists or pedestrians.
CTA has certain limitations – The CTA sen- sors, for example, cannot "see" through otherparked vehicles or objects blocking the vehi-cle. Below are a few examples of situations in which CTA's field of vision may be initially lim-ited and approaching vehicles may thereforenot be detected until they are very close toyour vehicle:
73 Warning for crossing traffic when the vehicle is backing up.
74 Warning for crossing traffic when the vehicle is backing up.

DRIVER SUPPORT
* Option/accessory.339
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 in relation to the obstructing vehicle/object and its blind zone is reduced.
Examples of further limitations

The
auto brake sub-function only detects
vehicles in motion and may therefore not
"see" and brake for e.g. stationary obsta- cles, a cyclists or a pedestrian.
Dirt, ice and snow covering the sensorsmay reduce functionality and prevent thesystem from providing warnings.
CTA is automatically deactivated if atrailer, bicycle holder or similar is con-nected to the vehicle's electrical system.
For CTA to function effectively, bicycleholders, luggage racks or similar shouldnot be mounted on the vehicle's towbar.
NOTE
The function uses the vehicle's camera and radar sensor, which has certain generallimitations.

When the function has registered a speed limit sign, the sign will be displayed as a sym-bol in the instrument panel and a coloredmarking will be shown in the speedometer'sspeed scale. If the vehicle is equipped with Sensus Navigation *, speed-related information will
also be retrieved from map data, which means that the instrument panel can display orchange information about speed limits even if the vehicle has not passed a speed-relatedsign.

If the warning sign 80
"School" or "Children play-ing" is included in the satel- lite navigator's map data 81
