Blind Spot Information
BLIS*
The BLIS
102
function is intended to help the
driver detect vehicles diagonally behind and
to the side of the car so as to provide assis-
tance in heavy traffic on roads with several
lanes in the same direction.
Location of BLIS lamp
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.
DRIVER SUPPORT
Principle of BLIS
Zone in blind spot
Zone for quickly approaching vehicle
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
indicator lamp on the door mirror on the affec-
ted side illuminates with a constant glow. If
the driver activates 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.
* Option/accessory.
