transmission is shifted out of D (Drive) or N (Neutral) the system will
enter the CTA mode (see CTA operation below). Once shifted back in to
D (Drive) the BLIS™ mode will activate once driven above 3 mph
(5 km/h).
The BLIS™ will trigger the alert for vehicles that enter your blind zone
from the rear or merge in to the blind zone from the side. Vehicles that
you pass, or a vehicle that enters the blind zone from the front, will
trigger the alert only after the vehicle is present in the blind zone for
three seconds.
Note:
For vehicles that pass through the blind zone
quickly, typically less then two seconds, the BLIS will not illuminate the
alert.
The BLIS™ consists of two radar
sensors each located at rearward of
the rear wheel hidden behind the
bumper fascia. For proper operation
do not allow large build ups of mud,
snow, and ice in this area. Small to
moderate build ups of such
materials will not hinder the
performance. Do not place any type
of bumper sticker in this area.
Note:
The BLIS™ typically will not detect parked vehicles, humans,
animals, or infrastructure (fences, guard rails, trees, etc.). The BLIS™
does not function when the transmission is in R (Reverse) or P (Park).
The BLIS™ does not provide any additional warning when your turn
signal is activated.
BLIS™ Detection Limitations:
Due to the nature of radar technology,
there may be certain instances where vehicles entering and exiting the
blind spot zones may not be detected. Below is a list of circumstances
that may cause non-detection:
•
Debris build up on the rear quarter panel fascias
•
Certain maneuvering of vehicles entering and exiting the blind zone
•
Vehicles passing through the blind zone at very fast rates
•
Severe weather conditions
•
When several vehicles forming a convoy pass through the blind zone.
