BLIS* - operation
BLIS (Blind Spot Information) is a function
designed for providing support for the driver
when driving in dense traffic on roads with
several lanes in the same direction.
Activate/deactivate BLIS
BLIS is activated when the engine is started.
This is confirmed by the indicator lamps in
the door panels flashing once.
Button for activating/deactivating.
The
BLIS
function can be deactivated/acti-
vated by pressing the
BLIS
button on the
centre console.
Some combinations of the selected equip-
ment leave no vacant space for a button in
the centre console - in which case the func-
tion is handled by the car's menu system MY
CAR (p. 108).
When BLIS is deactivated/activated the lamp
in the button extinguishes/illuminates and the
combined instrument panel confirms the
change with a text message. The door panel
indicator lamps flash once upon activation.
To extinguish the message:

extinguishes.
When BLIS operates
Principle for BLIS: 1. Zone in blind spot. 2. Zone
for rapidly approaching vehicle.
The BLIS function is active at speeds above
approx. 10 km/h.
The system is designed to react when:
•
the driver's vehicle is overtaken by other
vehicles
•
the driver's vehicle is rapidly caught up
by another vehicle.
When BLIS detects a vehicle in zone 1 or a
quickly approaching vehicle in zone 2, the
door panel BLIS lamp illuminates with a con-
stant glow. If the driver activates the direction
indicator on the same side as the warning in
this situation then the BLIS lamp will change
from a constant glow to flashing with a more
intense light.
WARNING
BLIS does not work in sharp bends.
BLIS does not work when the car is being
reversed.
Limitations

Dirt, ice and snow covering sensors can
reduce functionality and make it impossi-
ble to provide warnings. BLIS cannot
detect hazards if it is covered.
•
Do not affix any objects, tape or labels in
the area of the sensors.
•
BLIS is deactivated when a trailer is con-
nected to the car's electrical system.
