If you press the switch again while the
mirrors are moving, they will stop and
reverse the direction of movement.
Note:

often during a short period of time, the

period of time to prevent damage due to
overheating.

The auto-dimming mirror will adjust
automatically when hit by glaring light from

selected reverse gear.
BLIND SPOT MONITOR
Blind spot information system
(BLIS)
WARNINGS
The system is not designed to
prevent contact with other vehicles
or objects. The system only
provides a warning to assist you in
detecting vehicles in the blind spot zones.
The system will not detect obstacles,
pedestrians, motorcyclists or cyclists.
Do not use the system as a
replacement for using the side and
rear view mirrors, and looking over
your shoulder before changing lanes. The
system is not a replacement for careful
driving and is only to be used as an aid.
The system is a convenience feature that
aids the driver in detecting vehicles that
may have entered the blind spot zone (
A ).
The detection area is on both sides of the
vehicle extending rearwards from the
exterior mirrors to approximately 3 metres
(10 feet) beyond the bumper. The system
will alert you if certain vehicles enter the
blind spot zone whilst driving.
