Using the Systems

BLIS® turns on when the engine is started and the vehicle is driven

forward above 3 mph (5 km/h); it remains on while the transmission is in

D (Drive) or N (Neutral). If shifted out of D (Drive) or N (Neutral), the

system enters CTA mode. Once shifted back into D (Drive), BLIS® turns

back on when the vehicle is driven above 3 mph (5 km/h).

Note: BLIS® does not function in R (Reverse) or P (Park) or provide

any additional warning when a turn signal is on.

CTA detects approaching vehicles from up to 45 feet (14 meters) away

though coverage decreases when the sensors are blocked. Reversing

slowly helps increase the coverage area and effectiveness.

WARNING: To help avoid personal injury, NEVER use the CTA

system as a replacement for using the interior and exterior

mirrors and looking over your shoulder before backing out of a parking

space. CTA is not a replacement for careful driving.

In this first example, the left sensor is only partially obstructed; zone

coverage is nearly maximized.

Zone coverage also decreases when parking at shallow angles. Here, the left

sensor is mostly obstructed; zone coverage on that side is severely limited.
