Backing the bus up

2017 F250 Lariat Ultimate -

Today, was parked on a street and was backing up so I could get out of my little spot. All of a sudden I hear a beeping on the back left side stereo speaker and I look on the dash "Car approaching on the left".

Not a moment later, the right side back speaker starts beeping "Car approaching on the right". Then it flips back to the left side.

It was seeing the cars turn onto the street and alerting me to their presence.

I love finding these features! So cool.

Yes, this is the "cross traffic alert" I love it, but when I forget what it is I get thrown off a bit, but it's a very cool feature.

First time scared the crap out of me. Still not sure why it went off since I had about 2 car lengths between me and the next and going less than 25mph.

What real great about this feature is that the warning is far enough in advance for you to react.

I've actually had that happen. But it didn't alarm me. I owned a 2013 Subaru Outback with Eyesight. It would do that on occasion.
