CTA 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.

WARNING: To help avoid personal injury, NEVER use the CTA
system as a replacement for using the interior and exterior

mirrors and looking over your shoulder before backing out of a parking
space. CTA is not a replacement for careful driving.

In this first example, the left sensor is only partially obstructed; zone
coverage is nearly maximized.

Zone coverage also decreases when parking at shallow angles. Here, the left
sensor is mostly obstructed; zone coverage on that side is severely limited.
