Cleaning the BLIS camera lenses
In order to function optimally, the BLIS camera
lenses must be kept clean. They can be wiped
clean with a soft cloth or wet sponge.
CAUTION
Clean the lenses carefully to avoid
scratching.
The lenses are electrically heated to
help melt ice or snow. If necessary, gen-
tly brush away snow from the lenses.
Switching BLIS on and off
BLIS is automatically activated when the igni-
tion is switched on. The indicator lights will
provide confirmation by flashing 3 times.
The system can be switched off by press-
ing the BLIS button in the center console
(see the illustration). The indicator light in
the button goes out when the system is
switched off, and a text message is dis-
played.
BLIS can be switched on again by pressing
the button. The indicator light in the button
will illuminate and a new text message will
be displayed. Press the READ button (see
page 131) to erase the message.
Depending on the vehicle's optional equip-
ment, there may not be space for the BLIS but-
ton in the center console. In this case, BLIS can
be switched on and off in the menu system by
pressing MY CAR and going to Settings
Car settings BLIS. See page 134 for a
description of the menu system.
