BLIND SPOT INFORMATION
SYSTEM
Blind Spot Information System(BLIS™) with Cross Traffic Alert
(If Equipped)
WARNING
Do not use the system as areplacement for using the mirrors orlooking over your shoulder beforechanging lanes. You should only use thesystem as an aid. It is not a replacementfor careful driving.
The system is a convenience feature thatassists you in detecting vehicles that mayhave entered the blind spot zone (A). Thedetection area is on both sides of yourvehicle extending rearward from theexterior mirrors to approximately 10 feet(3 meters) beyond the rear bumper. Thesystem is designed to alert you if othervehicles enter the blind spot zone whendriving.
Cross Traffic Alert is designed to warn youof vehicles approaching from the sideswhen the transmission is in reverse (R).
Note:The Blind Spot Information Systemdoes not prevent contact with other vehiclesor objects; nor detect parked vehicles,people, animals or infrastructure (fences,guardrails, trees, etc.). It's only designed toalert you to vehicles in the blind zones.
Note:Vehicles that pass through the blindspot zone quickly (typically less than 2seconds) will not trigger the alert.
Using the Systems
The Blind Spot Information System turnson when you start the engine and you driveyou vehicle forward above 5 mph(8 km/h); it remains on while thetransmission is in drive (D) or neutral (N).If shifted out of drive (D) or neutral (N),the system enters cross traffic alert mode.Once shifted back into drive (D), the BlindSpot Information System turns back onwhen you drive your vehicle above 5 mph(8 km/h).
Note:The Blind Spot Information Systemdoes not function in reverse (R) or park (P)or provide any additional warning when aturn signal is on.
Note:Cross Traffic Alert is designed todetect approaching vehicles from up to 46 ft(14 m) away, though coverage decreaseswhen the sensors are blocked. Reversingslowly helps increase the coverage area andeffectiveness.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Zone coverage also decreases whenparking at shallow angles. Here, the leftsensor is mostly obstructed; zone coverageon that side is severely limited.
System Lights and Messages
The system displays a yellow warningindicator located in the exterior mirrors.
Note:It will dim when the ambient lightdecreases.
Cross Traffic Alert also sounds a series oftones and a message appears in theinformation display indicating a vehicle iscoming from the right or left. Cross TrafficAlert works with the reverse sensingsystem that sounds its own series of tones.See Parking Aids (page 167).
System Sensors
WARNING
Prior to the system recognizing ablocked condition and issuing awarning, the number of missedobjects will increase.
Note:It is possible to get a blockagewarning with no blockage present; this israre and known as a false blockage warning.A false blocked condition eitherself-corrects or clears after a key cycle.
196Mondeo (CNG) Vehicles Built From: 08-09-2014 Vehicles Built Up To: 19-04-2015, CG3633en enGBR, Edition date: 10/2014, First PrintingDriving Aids

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine The system uses radar sensors which arelocated behind the bumper fascia on eachside of your vehicle. Do not allow mud,snow or bumper stickers to obstruct theseareas, this can cause degraded systemperformance.
If the system detects a degradedperformance condition, a message warningof a blocked sensor or low visibility willappear in the information display alongwith a warning indicator. You can clear theinformation display warning but thewarning indicator will remain illuminated.
When you remove a blockage, you canreset the system in two ways:
•While driving, the system detects atleast two objects.
•You cycle the ignition from on to offand then back on.
If the blockage is still present after the keycycle and driving in traffic, check again fora blockage.
Reasons for messages being displayed
Clean the fascia area in frontof the radar or remove theobstruction.
The radarsurface isdirty orobstructed
Drive normally in traffic fora few minutes to allow theradar to detect passingvehicles so it can clear theblocked state.
The radarsurface isnot dirty orobstructed
No action required. Thesystem automatically resetsto an unblocked state oncethe rainfall or snowfall ratedecreases or stops. Do notuse the Blind Spot Informa-tion System or Cross TrafficAlert in these conditions.
Heavy rain-fall orsnowfallinterfereswith theradarsignals
Detection Limitations
There may be instances where the systemwill not always detect vehicles enteringand exiting the blind spot zone.
Instances which may cause non-detection:
•Debris build up on the rear bumperpanels in the area of the sensors.
•Certain maneuvering of vehiclesentering and exiting the blind spotzone.
•Vehicles passing through the blind spotzone at high speed.
•Severe weather conditions.
•Several vehicles passing through theblind spot zone following each otherclosely.

•Adjacently parked vehicles or objectsobstructing the sensors.
•Approaching vehicles passing atspeeds greater than 15 mph (24 km/h).
•Driving in reverse faster than 5 mph(8 km/h).
•Backing out of an angled parking spot.
False Alerts
Note:If your vehicle has a trailer towmodule approved by us, the system willdetect a connected trailer and turn off. Fornon-factory equipped tow bars, you maywant to turn the Blind Spot InformationSystem off manually.
There may be certain instances when thereis a false alert by either the Blind SpotInformation or the Cross Traffic Alertsystems that illuminates the alert indicatorwith no vehicle in the coverage zone. Someamount of false alerts are normal; they aretemporary and self-correct.
Detection Errors
If either system senses a problem with theleft or right sensor, the Blind SpotInformation System warning indicator willilluminate and a message will appear inthe information display.
All other system faults will display onlywith a message in the information display.See Information Messages (page 96).
Switching the Systems Off and On
You can temporarily switch off one or bothsystems in the information display. SeeInformation Messages (page 96). Whenyou switch off the Blind Spot InformationSystem, you will not receive alerts and theinformation display will display a systemoff message.
Note:The Cross Traffic Alert system alwaysswitches on whenever the ignition isswitched on. However, the Blind SpotInformation System will remember the lastselected on or off setting.
One or both systems cannot be switchedoff when MyKey is used. See Principle ofOperation (page 38).
You can also have one or both systemsswitched off permanently at an authorizeddealer. Once switched off, the system canonly be switched back on at an authorizeddealer.
