BLIS
*
The BLIS
71
function is intended to help the
driver detect vehicles diagonally behind and to
the side of the car so as to provide assistance in
heavy traffic on roads with several lanes in the
same direction.
BLIS is a driver aid intended to give a warning of:
•
vehicles in the car's blind spot
•
quickly approaching vehicles in the left and
right lanes closest to the car.

Indicator lamp
The function is activated/deactivated using
the BLIS button in the centre display's func-
tion view.
Principle of BLIS
Zone in blind spot
Zone for quickly approaching vehicle.
The BLIS function is active at speeds
above 10 km/h (6 mph).
The system is designed to react when:
•
your car is overtaken by other vehicles
•
another vehicle is quickly approaching your
car.
When BLIS detects a vehicle in Zone 1 or a
quickly approaching vehicle in Zone 2, the indica-
tor lamp on the door mirror on the affected side
illuminates with a constant glow. If the driver acti-
vates the direction indicator on the same side as
the warning, the indicator lamp will change over
from a constant glow to flashing with a more
intense light.
NOTE
The lamp illuminates on the side of the car
where the system has detected the vehicle. If
the car is overtaken on both sides at the
same time then both lamps illuminate.
