Blind Spot Information System, BLIS*
BLIS is an information system that under cer-
tain conditions can help to draw the driver's
attention to vehicles moving in the same direc-
tion in the so-called "blind spot", see
page 153.
Water and dirt-repellent coating*
The front side windows and/or door
mirrors are treated with a coating
which improves the view in poor weather con-
ditions. For information on maintenance, see
page 191.
Rearview and door mirrors
In certain weather conditions, the function of
the dirt-repellent coating is improved if the
door mirror defrosters are used, see
page 85 or 88.
Heat the door mirrors:
•
If they are covered with ice or snow.
•
In heavy rain and dirty road conditions.
•
If they are misted.

IMPORTANT
Do not use a metal ice scraper to remove ice
from the windows. The water and dirt-repel-
lent coating could be damaged. Use the
defroster to remove ice from the mirrors. An
ice scraper could scratch the mirror glass!
