208 Driving Aids Note: When a vehicle passes quickly through the blind zone (typically fewer than two seconds), the system does not trigger. Using the Systems BLIS௡ turns on when the engine is started and the vehicle is driven forward above 3 mph (5 km/h); it remains on while the transmission is in D (Drive) and N (Neutral). If shifted out of D (Drive) or N (Neutral), the system enters CTA mode. Once shifted back into D (Drive), BLIS௡ turns back on when the vehicle is driven above 3 mph (5 km/h). Note: BLIS௡ does not function in R (Reverse) or P (Park) or provide any additional warning when a turn signal is on. CTA detects approaching vehicles from up to 45 feet (14 meters) away though coverage decreases when the sensors are blocked. Reversing slowly helps increase the coverage area and effectiveness. WARNING: To help avoid personal injury, NEVER use the CTA system as a replacement for using the interior and exterior mirrors and looking over your shoulder before backing out of a parking space. CTA is not a replacement for careful driving and only an assist. In this first example, the left sensor is only partially obstructed; zone coverage is nearly maximized. 2013 MKS (mks) Owners Guide gf, 2nd Printing USA (fus)
