Blind Spot Information (BLIS)
*
Blind Spot Information is a system designed to
alert the driver to the presence of other vehicles
moving in the same direction as your vehicle on
roads with several lanes.
Blind Spot Information is a driving aid intended
to:
•
detect other vehicles in your door mirrors'
"blind area"
•
detect vehicles that are about to pass your
vehicle or are approaching your vehicle
quickly from behind in the left and/or right
lanes
WARNING
•
Blind Spot Information is an information
system, NOT a warning or safety system
and does not function in all situations.
•
Blind Spot Information does not eliminate
the need for you to visually confirm the
conditions around you, and the need for
you to turn your head and shoulders to
make sure that you can safely change
lanes or back up.
•
As the driver, you have full responsibility
for changing lanes/backing up in a safe
manner.
Overview
Blind Spot Information indicators
Indicator light
BLIS button in the center display's Function
view to activate/deactivate the function
The indicator light illuminates on the side of the
vehicle where the system has detected another
vehicle. If your vehicle is passed on both sides at
the same time, both lights will illuminate.
Principle for Blind Spot Information: Zone 1. Blind area,
Zone 2. Area for approaching/passing vehicles
Blind Spot Information functions when your vehi-
cle is moving at speeds above approx. 6 mph
(10 km/h).
Blind Spot Information is designed to react to:
•
vehicles that are passing your vehicle
•
other vehicles that are rapidly approaching
your vehicle
When Blind Spot Information detects a vehicle in
zone 1 or a fast-approaching vehicle in zone 2,
the indicator light in the respective door mirror
will glow steadily.
If the driver then uses the turn signal on the side
on which the warning is given, the indicator light
will begin flashing and become brighter.
