In an angled parking slot CTA may be completely “blind”
on one side.
Blind CTA sector.
Sector in which CTA can detect/“see”.
However, as your car slowly reverses, the angle it
makes with the obstructing vehicle/object
changes and the blind sector rapidly decreases.
Examples of further limitations
•
The auto-brake subfunction only detects
moving vehicles and therefore cannot "see"
and brake for stationary obstacles, a cyclist
or a pedestrian, for example.
•
Dirt, ice and snow covering the sensors may
reduce the functions and deactivate alerts.
See the supplementary information in the
section "Recommended maintenance for
Cross Traffic Alert".
•
CTA is automatically deactivated if a trailer,
bicycle rack or similar is connected to the
car's electrical system.
•
For optimal performance of CTA, no bicycle
rack, luggage carrier or similar should be
mounted on the car's towbar.
