WARNING: Objects in the blind spot mirror are closer than they
appear.
BLIND SPOT INFORMATION SYSTEM (BLISா) WITH CROSS
TRAFFIC ALERT (CTA) (IF EQUIPPED)
The BLIS is a convenience feature
that aids the driver in assessing
whether a vehicle is within an area
on either side of the vehicle
extending rearward from the outside
mirrors to approximately 10 feet
(3 meters) beyond the bumper. This
area is referred to as the blind zone.
The BLIS will alert the driver to
the presence of motorized vehicles
in these areas while driving on roads
and freeways.
The system is not designed to
prevent contact with other vehicles
or objects. The system is designed
to provide a warning to assist the
driver in detecting vehicles in the blind zones. The system will not detect
infrastructure, pedestrians, or cyclists.
WARNING: To help avoid injuries, NEVER use the BLIS as a
replacement for using the side and rear view mirrors and looking
over your shoulder before changing lanes. BLIS is not a replacement
for careful driving and only an assist.
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
