General information on BLIS and CTA
The BLIS function (Blind Spot Information
System) is designed for driving in dense traf-
fic on roads with several lanes in the same
direction. BLIS is a driver's aid intended to
provide a warning about:
•
vehicles in the car's blind spot
•
rapidly approaching vehicles in the left
and right-hand lanes closest to the car.
The BLIS function CTA (Cross Traffic Alert) is
a driver's aid intended to provide a warning
about:
•
crossing traffic when the car is reversed.
WARNING
BLIS and CTA are supplementary aids and
do not work in all situations.
BLIS and CTA are no substitutes for a safe
driving style and the use of rearview and
door mirrors.
BLIS and CTA can never replace the driv-
er's responsibility and attention - it is
always the driver's responsibility to reverse
and change lanes in a safe manner.
