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威 as a
replacement for using the side and rear view mirrors and looking over
your shoulder before changing lanes. BLIS威 is not a replacement for
careful driving and only an assist.
Once the blockage is removed, the system will require some driving time
and detection of at least two vehicle objects prior to resetting or the
driver can cycle the ignition key. If, however, blockage is still present
after the key cycle, the system will sense again that it is blocked after
driving in traffic.
The following table lists possible causes and actions for this message
being displayed:
The surface of the radar is
dirty or obstructed in some
way
Clean the fascia area in front of the
radar, either side, or remove
obstruction.
The surface of the radar is not
dirty or obstructed
Drive normally in traffic for a few
minutes to allow the radar to detect
that it is no longer blocked. Note: The
vehicle must be in D (Drive) and a
few vehicles must pass so that the
BLIS威 can clear a blocked state.
Heavy rainfall or heavy
snowfall is interfering with the
radar signals
No action required by the driver. The
system will automatically reset to an
unblocked state once the
rainfall/snowfall rate decreases or
stops. Do not use BLIS威 and/or CTA in
heavy rainfall or heavy snowfall.
Due to the nature of radar technology, it is possible to get a blockage
warning and not be blocked. This is rare and known as a false blockage
warning. A false blocked condition will either self clear or clear after a
key cycle.
Trailer tow false alerts
When towing a trailer, the sensors may detect the trailer thus causing a
false alert. It may be desirable to turn the BLIS威 off if the false alerts
become annoying.
