CTA is only active when the vehicle is moving
backward or if reverse gear is engaged.

Cross Traffic Alert(CTA) is a supplementary
driver support system to BLIS72 that is
intended to help the driver detect vehicles
crossing behind the vehicle while backing up.
If CTA detects that something is approaching
your vehicle from the side:
an audible signal will sound from either
the left or right speaker, depending on
which side of your vehicle the object is
approaching from.

in a safe manner, at the appropriate
speed, with an appropriate distance to
other vehicles, and in accordance with
current traffic rules and regulations.
