What is Cross Traffic Monitor (CTM)?

1. The system is actively monitoring while the vehicle is in reverse (and enabled through the vehicle settings).
2. If another vehicle is about to cross behind (perpendicular traffic), the system will issue an audible alert and visual alert on the rear-view camera screen.
