REFUELLING DIESEL PARTICLE FILTER
BLIS – BLIND SPOT INFORMATION
SYSTEM*
EMERGENCY BRAKE ASSIST, EBA
If the BLIS’ indicator lamp illuminates despite
there being no vehicle within the blind spot,
the cause could be for example, reflection
from shiny wet road surface, own shadow on
light road surface or low sun in the camera.
In the event of a direct fault in the system
the display shows the text BLIS SERVICE
REQUIRED.
Diesel cars are equipped with a particle
filter, which results in more efficient emission
control. The particles in the exhaust gases are
collected in the filter during normal driving.
So-called "regeneration" is started automati-
cally in order to burn away the particles and
empty the filter. Engine power may be slightly
reduced during regeneration.
Emergency Brake Assistance helps to
increase brake force and so reduce braking
distance. EBA is activated when the driver
brakes suddenly. When EBA is activated the
brake pedal lowers slightly more than usual,
depress (hold) the brake pedal as long as
necessary. If the brake pedal is released then
all braking ceases.
