Blind Spot Information System - Overview
Blind Spot Monitoring
The BLIS® aids the driver in assessing whether another vehicle is present within a specific area (blind spot) to either side of the vehicle, extending rearward approximately 6 m (20 ft) beyond the rear bumper while driving on roads and highways. The system is not designed to prevent contact with other vehicles or objects. The BLIS® uses the exterior mirror BLIS® Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) to alert the driver that a vehicle has been detected. The BLIS® provides alerts when the vehicle is in forward gear and the vehicle speeds is greater than 10 km/h (6 mph).
CTA
When the vehicle is in REVERSE (R), the CTA system alerts the driver of vehicles that are approaching from the side when backing out of a front-in parking space or backing towards the road. The system can detect a vehicle approaching from 14 m (45 ft) away at a speed up to 64 km/h (40 mph) from the left or right side of the vehicle. The CTA system uses the exterior mirror BLIS® Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs), a warning chime from the audio speakers and a message in the IPC message center to notify the driver of approaching vehicles.
NOTE: If a MyKey® restricted key is in use, the BLIS® and CTA system cannot be turned off in the IPC.
