BLIS

BLIS is an information system which

indicates whether there is another vehicle

moving in the same direction in the so-called

"blind spot".

"Blind spots" covered by BLIS

Distance A = approx. 9.5 m

Distance B = approx. 3 m

The system is designed to work most effec-

tively when driving in dense traffic on multi-

lane highways.

BLIS is based on digital camera technology.

The cameras (1) are fitted under the door

mirrors.

When a camera has detected a vehicle inside

the blind spot zone then an indicator lamp is

lit in the door panel (2). The light comes on

with a constant glow to draw the driver’s

attention to a vehicle in the blind spot.

NOTE! The lamp comes on on the side of the

car where the system has detected the

vehicle. If the car is overtaken on both sides

at the same time then both lamps come on.

BLIS also has an integrated function which

warns the driver if a fault should arise in the

system. If, for example, the system’s cameras

are obscured then the BLIS indicator lamp

flashes and a message is shown in the

dashboard display (see the table on

page 145). In such cases, check and clean

the lenses. If necessary, the system can be

switched off temporarily by pressing the BLIS

button (see page 145).

When BLIS operates

The system operates when the car is driven at

a speed above 10 km/h.

When you overtake another vehicle:

• The system reacts if you overtake another

vehicle at a speed of up to 10 km/h

faster than the other vehicle.

When you are overtaken by another

vehicle:

• The system reacts if you are overtaken by

a vehicle travelling up to 70 km/h faster

than you are travelling.

WARNING!

The system is a supplement to, and not a

replacement for, the existing rearview

mirrors. It can never replace the

awareness and responsibility of the driver.

The responsibility for changing lanes

safely rests with the driver.
