Cross Traffic Alert
The system alerts you of vehicles approaching from the sides behind your vehicle when you shift into reverse (R).
Cross Traffic Alert detects vehicles that approach at a speed between 4–37 mph (6–60 km/h). Coverage decreases when the sensors are partially, mostly or fully obstructed.
E142440
The sensor on the left-hand side is only partially obstructed and zone coverage on the right-hand side is maximized.
Zone coverage also decreases when parking at narrow angles. The sensor on the left-hand side is mostly obstructed and zone coverage on that side is severely reduced.
Note: Slowly reversing helps increase the coverage area and effectiveness.
