BLIND SPOT INFORMATION SYSTEM™ (BLIS™) WITH CROSS
TRAFFIC ALERT (CTA) (IF EQUIPPED)
The BLIS™ system is a convenience
feature that aids the driver in
assessing whether a vehicle is within
an area on either side of the vehicle
extending rearward from the outside
mirrors to approximately 10 feet
(three meters) beyond the bumper.
This area is referred to as the blind
zone. The BLIS™ will alert the
driver to the presence of motorized
vehicles in these areas while driving
on roads and freeways.
The system is not designed to
prevent contact with other vehicles
or objects. The system is designed
to provide a warning to assist the
driver in detecting vehicles in the blind zones. The system will not detect
infrastructure, pedestrians, or cyclists.
WARNING: To help avoid injuries, NEVER use the BLIS™ as a
replacement for using the side and rear view mirrors and looking
over your shoulder before changing lanes. BLIS™ is not a replacement
for careful driving and only an assist.
The BLIS™ has an amber indicator
(also referred to as the alert)
located in the left and right exterior
mirrors. When the vehicle is started,
the BLIS™ automatically illuminates
both indicators for several seconds
indicating the system is operating.
The first time you place the
transmission in D (Drive) after starting the engine and drive forward at a
speed greater than 3 mph (5 km/h) the BLIS™ system becomes active.
Afterwards, the BLIS remains active for all speeds including zero mph.
BLIS™ is also active if the transmission is placed in N (Neutral). If the
