BLIS (Blind Spot Information System) – option
System function in daylight and
darkness
Daylight
In daylight the system reacts to the shape of
the surrounding vehicles. The system is
designed to detect motor vehicles such as
cars, trucks, buses and motorcycles.
Darkness
In darkness the system reacts to the head-
lamps of surrounding vehicles. If its head-
lamps are not switched on then the system
does not detect the vehicle. This means for
example that the system does not react to a
trailer without headlamps which is towed
behind a car or truck.
Cleaning
In order to work most effectively the BLIS
camera lenses must be clean. The lenses can
be cleaned with a soft cloth or damp sponge.
Clean the lenses carefully so that they are not
scratched.
WARNING!
• BLIS does not work in sharp bends.
• BLIS does not work when the car is
reversing.
• A wide trailer coupled to the car can
conceal other vehicles in adjacent lanes.
It can prevent the vehicle in the screened
area from being detected by BLIS.
WARNING!
• The system does not react to bicycles
or mopeds.
The BLIS cameras can be disrupted by
intensive light or when driving in the dark
when there are no light sources (e.g.
street lighting or other vehicles). The
system may then interpret the lack of light
as if the cameras have been blocked.
In both cases a message is shown in the
dashboard display.
When driving in such conditions the
system can be temporarily switched off
(see the information on the next page).
When the text message has faded out
then the system returns to full function.
• The BLIS cameras have the same
limitations as the human eye, i.e. they
"see" worse in heavy snowfall or thick fog
for example.
IMPORTANT!
The lenses are electrically heated to melt
ice or snow. If necessary, brush snow
away from the lenses.
