Principle of Blind Spot Information
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
DRIVER SUPPORT
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.
WARNING
Blind Spot Information does not work on
sharp bends.
Blind Spot Information does not work when
the car is reversing.
WARNING
Blind Spot Information is a supplementary aid
and does not work in all situations.
Blind Spot Information is no substitute for a
safe driving style and the use of rearview and
door mirrors.
Blind Spot Information can never replace
responsibility and attention by the driver. It is
always the driver's responsibility to change
lanes in a safe manner.
