Ford E-Transit 2022 - Blind Spot Assist 1.0

E-Transit – Key Driver Features
Blind Spot Assist 1.0
Blind Spot Assist 1.0 Includes Blind Spot Information System
(BLIS®) with Cross-Traffic Alert and Trailer Coverage to help
drivers change lanes or back out of a parking space with
confidence. BLIS can alert the driver when a vehicle enters
the blind spot zone. Cross-Traffic Alert warns of traffic
approaching from the sides when the vehicle is in
Reverse (R), such as slowly backing out of a parking space
or driveway.
How BLIS® works
• BLIS is automatically engaged when the vehicle is placed in Drive (D)
• Alerts the driver if another vehicle is detected in the blind spot zone by
utilizing two radar sensors located behind each rear wheel
• Corresponding sideview mirror indicator illuminates when a vehicle in
an adjacent lane is detected in the blind spot zone from behind
• System can be turned off through the cluster or the center-stack
touchscreen, but defaults to “On” when the vehicle is restarted
•
Note:
The system does not operate in park (P) or reverse (R).

BLIS® Indicators
• When the system detects a vehicle, an alert indicator
illuminates in the exterior mirror on the side the
approaching vehicle is coming from
• If you turn the turn signals on for that side of your vehicle,
the alert indicator flashes
How Cross-Traffic Alert works
• Automatically engages when vehicle is placed in Reverse (R) to
detect moving motorized vehicles approaching from either side of
the vehicle
• Utilizes the same radar sensors as BLIS
• Warns the driver if approaching vehicles are detected when slowly
backing out of a parking spot or driveway
• Corresponding sideview mirror indicator illuminates and a series of
tones sound if an oncoming vehicle is detected
• Depending on the direction of the approaching vehicle, the cluster
will display:
• VEHICLE COMING FROM LEFT
• VEHICLE COMING FROM RIGHT
Cross-Traffic Alert indicators
• When the system detects an approaching vehicle a tone
sounds, an indicator illuminates in the relevant exterior
mirror and direction indicators appear in the center
display to show which side the approaching vehicle is
coming from.
