WARNING!
- BLIS does not work in sharp bends.
- The system does not work if the camera
lenses are covered. In this case the BLIS
indicator lamps flash and a text message is
shown in the display (see table on page 122).
- BLIS does not work when the car is re-
versing.
System function in daylight
and darkness
• Daylight: In daylight the system reacts to
the shape of the surrounding vehicles. The
system is designed to detect motor vehicles
such as cars, trucks, motorcycles etc.
WARNING!
- The system does not react to bicycles or
mopeds.
- BLIS does not react to stationary vehicles.
• Darkness: In darkness the system reacts to
the headlamps of surrounding vehicles. A
vehicle in the blind spot must at least have
its daytime running lights on to be detected
by the system. This means for example that
the system does not react to a trailer without
headlamps/daytime running lights which is
towed behind a car or truck.
Switching off and
reactivating BLIS
BLIS is always active when the ignition is
switched on.
• The system can be switched off by
pressing the BLIS button in the switch
panel in the centre console (see illustration
above). The LED in the button goes out
when the system is switched off and a text
message is shown in the display in the
dashboard.
• BLIS can be reactivated by pressing the
button. An LED in the button then lights
and a new text message is shown in the
display. Press the READ button, see
page 35, to clear the text message.
