Blind Spot Information System - Overview: CTA
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Ford Focus. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
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 (131 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® Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) and a warning chime from the IPC 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 in the IPC.
