CTA is only active when the vehicle is moving
backward or if reverse gear is engaged.
ble, the auto brake function will intervene to
stop the vehicle and a text will be shown on
the instrument panel to explain why the vehi-
cle was braked.
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.

driver stop the car if there is a risk of collision
with an unobserved vehicle.
The function is supplementary driver
support intended to facilitate driving
and help make it safer – it cannot han-
dle all situations in all traffic, weather
and road conditions.

The driver is advised to read all sec-
tions in the Owner's Manual about this
function to learn of its limitations,
which the driver must be aware of
before using the function.

detect obstacles while backing up.
CTA supplements BLIS by detecting traffic
crossing from the side, e.g. when backing out
of a parking space.

There are sub-functions for Road Sign Infor-
mation (RSI82) that can alert the driver if the
speed limit has been exceeded or if there are
speed cameras nearby.
Navigation*
If the vehicle is equipped with Sensus
Navigation*, speed-related information will be
provided in the following situations:
Speed Limit Warning warns the driver if the
vehicle's speed has exceeded the applicable
speed limit or the preset Speed Limiter speed.
The warning will be repeated once after
about 1 minute in that speed limit area if the
driver does not slow down.
In cases where the speed limit is given
indirectly, e.g. signs for highways or other
major roads.
•
If a previously detected speed sign is
deemed to be no longer valid and no new
sign has been passed.
•
A new warning and message indicating that
the speed limit has been exceeded will be pro-
vided only when the vehicle has entered a
new/different speed limit area.
In certain markets, the Road Sign Informa-
tion* function is only available in combina-
tion with Sensus Navigation*.
For an audible alert to be provided if the
speed is exceeded, the Speed Limit
Warning function must be activated and
the Road Sign Audio Warning sub-func-
tion must be On. Audible alerts are provi-
ded if the vehicle's speed exceeds the
speed displayed by Road Sign Information
in the instrument panel.
