NOTE
The door panel indicator light illuminates
on the side of the vehicle where the sys-
tem has detected another vehicle. If your
vehicle is passed on both sides at the
same time, both lights will illuminate.
The system helps provide information about:
•
Other vehicles in your door mirrors' "blind
area"
•
Vehicles that are about to pass your vehi-
cle in the left and/or right lanes
•
Cross Traffic Alert (CTA) is a supple-
mentary BLIS function intended to
detect vehicles crossing behind your
vehicle while you are backing up.
WARNING
•
BLIS and CTA are information sys-
tems, NOT warning or safety systems
and do not function in all situations.
•
BLIS and CTA do not eliminate the
need for you to visually confirm the
conditions around you, and the need
for you to turn your head and should-
07
ers to make sure that you can safely
change lanes or back up.
•
As the driver, you have full responsibil-
ity for changing lanes/backing up in a
safe manner.

When does BLIS function
The system functions when your vehicle is
moving at speeds above 6 mph (10 km/h).
Zone 1. Blind area, Zone 2. Area for passing
vehicles
BLIS is designed to react to:
•
Other vehicles in your door mirrors' "blind
area"
•
Vehicles that are passing your vehicle
When BLIS detects a vehicle in zone 1 or a
passing vehicle in zone 2, the indicator light in
the door panel will glow steadily. If the driver
then uses the turn signal on the side on which
the warning is given, the indicator light will
flash and become brighter.
