Blind Spot Information (BLIS)*
Blind Spot Information is a system designed toalert the driver to the presence of other vehiclesmoving in the same direction as your vehicle onroads with several lanes.
Blind Spot Information is a driving aid intendedto:
•detect other vehicles in your door mirrors'"blind area"
•detect vehicles that are about to pass yourvehicle or are approaching your vehiclequickly from behind in the left and/or rightlanes
WARNING
•Blind Spot Information is an informationsystem, NOT a warning or safety systemand does not function in all situations.
•Blind Spot Information does not eliminatethe need for you to visually confirm theconditions around you, and the need foryou to turn your head and shoulders tomake sure that you can safely changelanes or back up.

Overview
Blind Spot Information indicators
Indicator light
BLIS button in the center display's Functionview to activate/deactivate the function
The indicator light illuminates on the side of thevehicle where the system has detected anothervehicle. If your vehicle is passed on both sides atthe same time, both lights will illuminate.
Principle for Blind Spot Information: Zone 1. Blind area,Zone 2. Area for approaching/passing vehicles
Blind Spot Information functions when your vehi-cle is moving at speeds above approx. 6 mph(10 km/h).
Blind Spot Information is designed to react to:
•vehicles that are passing your vehicle
•other vehicles that are rapidly approachingyour vehicle
When Blind Spot Information detects a vehicle inzone 1 or a fast-approaching vehicle in zone 2,the indicator light in the respective door mirrorwill glow steadily.
If the driver then uses the turn signal on the sideon which the warning is given, the indicator lightwill begin flashing and become brighter.

Lane assistance do not react
The traffic lane assistance system do not intervene insharp curves
In certain cases, such as during active driving or ifthe turn signal is used, the traffic lane system willnot react if the vehicle crosses a lane markerline.
8The level of vibrations varies; the farther the vehicle is over a lane marker line, the greater the number of vibrations:9See "Type of assistance" in the article "Activating/deactivating Lane Keeping Aid".

Park Assist limitations
The Park Assist system has certain limitations.
NOTE
A trailer hitch whose wiring is integrated withthe vehicle's electrical system will be takeninto account when measuring the availablespace behind the vehicle.
NOTE
•The system will not detect high objects,such as a loading dock, etc.
•Certain materials or fabrics may not bedetected by the sensors. Objects made ofthese materials or people wearing cloth-ing made of these fabrics may not bedetected.
•Children or animals near the vehicle maynot always be detected.
•Objects such as chains, thin shiny polesor low objects may temporarily not bedetected by the system. This may resultin the pulsing tone unexpectedly stoppinginstead of changing to a constant tone asthe vehicle approaches the object. Insuch cases, use caution when backing upor stop the vehicle to help avoid damage.
•In certain circumstances, the park assistsystem may give unexpected warning sig-nals that can be caused by externalsound sources that use the same ultra-sound frequencies as the system. Thismay include such things as the horns ofother vehicles, wet tires on asphalt, pneu-matic brakes, motorcycle exhaust pipes,other vehicles with similar ultrasound sys-tems, etc. This does not indicate a fault inthe system.
Cleaning the sensors
Location of the Park Assist sensors
The sensors must be cleaned regularly to ensurethat they work properly. Clean them with waterand a suitable car washing detergent.
NOTE
If the sensors are obstructed by e.g., dirt,snow, or ice, this could result in false warningsignals from the park assist system or thesystem may not function at all.
