Blind Spot Information System (BLIS®)

The Blind Spot Information System (BLIS®) becomes active the first time the transmission is placed in drive after starting the engine and driving forward at a speed greater than 4.8 km/h (3 mph). Upon completion of that initial sequence, the Blind Spot Information System (BLIS®) remains active for all speeds including 0 km/h (0 mph). The Blind Spot Information System (BLIS®) is also active if the transmission is placed in neutral. If the transmission is shifted out of drive or neutral, the system enters Cross Traffic Alert (CTA) mode. After the transmission is shifted back into drive, the vehicle must be driven above 4.8 km/h (3 mph) to reactivate the Blind Spot Information System (BLIS®).

The Blind Spot Information System (BLIS®) can trigger an alert for vehicles that enter the blind zone from the rear or merge into the blind zone from the side. The exterior mirror Blind Spot Information System (BLIS®)/Cross Traffic Alert (CTA) LED illuminates in the right and/or left exterior mirror. For vehicles that pass through the blind zone quickly, typically less than 2 seconds, the Blind Spot Information System (BLIS®) may not trigger an alert.

NOTE: There should be no bumper stickers or body filler material used on the rear side bumper cover in the vicinity of the SODL or SODR.

NOTE: The Blind Spot Information System (BLIS®) is not intended to detect parked vehicles, pedestrians or objects such as fences, guard rails or trees. The Blind Spot Information System (BLIS®) does not provide any additional warning when the turn signal is activated.

Due to the nature of radar technology, false alerts may occur under certain circumstances. False alerts occur when the LED illuminates with no target present. False alerts up to 3% (3 out of 100 targets) is considered normal operation. False alerts are temporary and self-correcting.
