CTA System

NOTE: The CTA system is only active when reverse gear is selected.

When the transmission is in reverse, the CTA system can detect a vehicle or a bicycle that is approaching at a speed between 8 km/h and 64 km/h (5 mph and 40 mph) and time to impact is between 1 and 2.5 seconds. The distance at which an alert is generated varies depending on the speed of the approaching vehicles or bicycles. The CTA system response time and performance can degrade if vehicles are approaching at speeds greater than 64 km/h (40 mph).

An adjacent parked vehicle or object can affect the systems ability to detect approaching vehicles or bicycles (refer to figure 1 below). Parking in at extreme angles can further affect the systems ability to detect approaching vehicles or bicycles (refer to figure 2 below).

Backing towards a curve road can also affect systems ability to detect approaching vehicles or bicycles (refer to figure 3 below).
