Principle for BLIS: 1. Zone in blind spot. 2. Zone for rap-

The BLIS function is active at speeds above
10 km/h (6 mph).
The system is designed to react when:
•
the driver's vehicle is overtaken by other
vehicles

the driver's vehicle is rapidly caught up by
another vehicle.
When BLIS detects a vehicle in zone 1 or a
quickly approaching vehicle in zone 2, the door

If the driver activates the direction indicator on
the same side as the warning in this situation
then the BLIS lamp will change from a constant
glow to flashing with a more intense light.
