BLIS* – function
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.
WARNING
•
BLIS does not function in sharp
curves.
•
BLIS does not function when your
vehicle is backing up.
