BLIS
*
BLIS (Blind Spot Information) is a function
designed for providing support for the driver
when driving in dense traffic on roads with sev-
eral lanes in the same direction.
BLIS is a driver's aid intended to provide a warn-
ing about:
•
vehicles in the car's blind spot
•
rapidly approaching vehicles in the left and
right-hand lanes closest to the car.
The BLIS function CTA (p. 242) (Cross Traffic
Alert) is a driver's aid intended to provide a warn-
ing about:
•
crossing traffic when the car is reversed.
WARNING
BLIS is a supplementary aid and does not
work in all situations.
BLIS is no substitute for a safe driving style
and the use of rearview and door mirrors.
BLIS can never replace the driver's responsi-
bility and attention - it is always the driver's
responsibility to change lanes in a safe man-
ner.

the car.
