The BLIS

௡ and CTA has a yellow

indicator (also referred to as the
alert) located in the left and right
exterior mirrors. When the vehicle is
started, the BLIS

௡ automatically

illuminates both indicators for
several seconds indicating the
system is operating. The first time
you place the transmission in D (Drive) after starting the engine and
drive forward at a speed greater than 3 mph (5 km/h) the BLIS

௡ system

becomes active. Afterwards, the BLIS

௡ remains active for all speeds

including zero mph. BLIS

௡ is also active if the transmission is placed in N

(Neutral). If the transmission is shifted out of D (Drive) or N (Neutral)
the system will enter the CTA mode (see CTA operation below). Once
shifted back in to D (Drive) the BLIS

௡ mode will activate once driven

above 3 mph (5 km/h).

The BLIS

௡ will trigger the alert for vehicles that enter your blind zone

from the rear or merge in to the blind zone from the side. Vehicles that
you pass, or a vehicle that enters the blind zone from the front, will
trigger the alert only after the vehicle is present in the blind zone for
three seconds. Note: For vehicles that pass through the blind zone
quickly, typically less then two seconds, the BLIS

௡ will not illuminate the

alert.

The BLIS

௡ consists of two radar

sensors each located rearward of
the rear wheels hidden behind the
bumper fascia. Do not place any
type of bumper sticker in this area.

Note: The BLIS

௡ typically will not

detect parked vehicles, humans,
animals, or infrastructure (fences,
guard rails, trees, etc.). The BLIS

does not function when the transmission is in R (Reverse) or P (Park).
The BLIS

௡ does not provide any additional warning when your turn

signal is activated.
