Blind Spot Information System - Overview: CTA

When the vehicle is in REVERSE (R), the CTA system alerts the driver of vehicles that are approaching from the side when backing out of a front-in parking space or backing towards the road. The system can detect a vehicle approaching from 40 m (130 ft) away at a speed up to 64 km/h (40 mph) from the left or right side of the vehicle. The CTA system uses the exterior mirror BLIS®/ CTA Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs), a warning chime from the IPC and a message in the IPC message center to notify the driver of approaching vehicles.

NOTE: If a MyKey® restricted key is in use, the BLIS® and CTA system cannot be turned off through the IPC.

NOTE: If the vehicle is equipped with the trailer tow option from the factory, the BLIS® and CTA automatically turns off when the trailer is electrically connected to the vehicle.
