Driving Aids Note: BLIS does not function in R (Reverse) or P (Park) or provide any additional warning when a turn signal is on. Note: Cross traffic alert detects approaching vehicles from up to 45 feet (14 meters) away though coverage decreases when the sensors are blocked. Reversing slowly helps increase the coverage area and effectiveness. Note: For manual transmission vehicles, CTA will be active only if the transmission is in Reverse. If the vehicle is rolling backwards and the transmission is not in Reverse then CTA will not be active. WARNING To help avoid personal injury, NEVER use the cross traffic alert system as a replacement for using the interior and exterior mirrors and looking over your shoulder before backing out of a parking space. Cross traffic alert is not a replacement for careful driving and only an assist. E142440 In this first example, the left sensor is only partially obstructed; zone coverage is nearly maximized. 189
