Blind Spot Information System (BLIS®) and Cross Traffic Alert (CTA) Message Center Function

NOTE: Cross Traffic Alert (CTA) system faults may not be detected until the transmission is placed in reverse.

The Blind Spot Information System (BLIS®) can be turned off by using the blind spot on/off function in the message center. When the Blind Spot Information System (BLIS®) has been turned off by the driver or if a system fault is present, the Blind Spot Information System (BLIS®) indicator in the message center remains on. When turning the system from off to on, the exterior mirror Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) illuminate for approximately 3 seconds. When the Blind Spot Information System (BLIS®) is turned off, the driver cannot receive any alerts. The system is reactivated on the next ignition cycle.

The Cross Traffic Alert (CTA) system can be turned off by selecting the Cross Traffic Alert (CTA) system on/off function in the message center. The Cross Traffic Alert (CTA) system can only be deactivated in the message center when the transmission is in reverse. The system is reactivated on the next ignition cycle.

There are some system faults that set Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) in the SODL or SODR. These Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) can set a message in the IPC message center that displays BLIND SPOT SYSTEM FAULT or CROSS TRAFFIC SYSTEM FAULT. There are also symptom based faults that do not set a DTC.
