Starting and driving

BLIS (Blind Spot Information System) – option

System function in daylight and

darkness

Daylight

In daylight the system reacts to the shape of

the surrounding vehicles. The system is

designed to detect motor vehicles such as

cars, trucks, buses and motorcycles.

Darkness

In darkness the system reacts to the

headlamps of surrounding vehicles. If its

headlamps are not switched on then the

system does not detect the vehicle. This

means for example that the system does not

react to a trailer without headlamps which is

towed behind a car or truck.

Cleaning

In order to work most effectively the BLIS

camera lenses must be clean. The lenses can

be cleaned with a soft cloth or damp sponge.

Clean the lenses carefully so that they are not

scratched.

WARNING!

• BLIS does not work in sharp bends.

• BLIS does not work when the car is

reversing.

• A wide trailer coupled to the car can

conceal other vehicles in adjacent lanes.

It can prevent the vehicle in the screened

area from being detected by BLIS.

WARNING!

• The system does not react to bicycles

or mopeds.

• The BLIS cameras can be disrupted by

intensive light or when driving in the dark

when there are no light sources (e.g.

street lighting or other vehicles). The

system may then interpret the lack of light

as if the cameras have been blocked.

In both cases a message is shown in the

dashboard display.

When driving in such conditions the

system can be temporarily switched off

(see the information on the next page).

When the text message has faded the

system returns to full functionality.

• The BLIS cameras have the same

limitations as the human eye, i.e. they

"see" worse in heavy snowfall or thick fog

for example.

WARNING!

• The lenses are electrically heated to

melt ice or snow. If necessary, brush

snow away from the lenses.
