BLIS™-CTA fault operation
If the BLIS™-CTA senses a fault on either the left or right sensor, the
BLIS™ alert indicator will go ON and remain ON and the message center
will display BLIND SPOT SYSTEM FAULT or CROSS TRAFFIC SYSTEM
FAULT. For faults that may cause the associated left or right alert
indicator not to illuminate, only the message center faults will occur.
Blocked sensor
An extreme build up of materials on
the left and/or right quarter panel
fascias such as mud or snow can
cause degraded performance of the
BLIS™. Also, heavy rain can cause
the same effect. The BLIS™ can
detect this degraded performance
and issue a blocked warning to the driver via the message center. If
condition is determined by the system, the message center displays
BLIND SPOT NOT AVAILABLE or CROSS TRAFFIC NOT AVAILABLE
warning and the appropriate left and/or right exterior mirror alert
indicator will illuminate. The message center warning may be cleared by
the driver but the exterior mirror alert indicator will remain illuminated.
WARNING: Just prior to the system recognizing a blocked
condition and alerting the driver, the number of missed objects
will increase. To help avoid injuries, NEVER use the BLIS™ as a
replacement for using the side and rear view mirrors and looking over
your shoulder before changing lanes. BLIS™ is not a replacement for
careful driving and only an assist.
Once blockage is removed, the system will require some driving time and
detection of at least two vehicle object prior to realizing it is unblocked,
or the driver can cycle the ignition key. If blocked and the ignition key is
cycled, the system resets to unblocked. If however blockage is still
present after the key cycle, the system will sense again that it is blocked
after driving in traffic.
