BLIS
BLIS (Blind Spot Information System) is a
function designed for providing support for
the driver when driving in dense traffic on
roads with several lanes in the same direction.
BLIS is a driver's aid intended to provide a
warning about:
•
vehicles in the car's blind spot
•
quickly approaching vehicles in the left
and right lanes closest to the car.
WARNING
BLIS is a supplementary aid and does not
work in all situations.
BLIS is no substitute for a safe driving
style and the use of rearview and door mir-
rors.
BLIS can never replace the driver's
responsibility and attention - it is always
the driver's responsibility to change lanes
in a safe manner.

NOTE
The lamp illuminates on the side of the car
where the system has detected the vehi-
cle. If the car is overtaken on both sides at
the same time then both lamps illuminate.
Maintenance
The sensors for the BLIS functions are
located inside the rear wing/bumper on each
corner of the car.
Keep this surface clean - also on the left-hand
side.
•
To ensure optimal functionality, the areas
in front of the sensors must be kept
clean.
