Driving Aids E142441 Zone coverage also decreases when parking at shallow angles. Here, the left sensor is mostly obstructed; zone coverage on that side is severely limited. System Lights and Messages Note: The alert indicator dims when nighttime darkness is detected. Cross traffic alert also sounds an audible warning and a message appears in the information display indicating a vehicle is coming from the right or left. Cross traffic alert works with the reverse sensing system which sounds its own series of tones. See Parking Aid (page 185). System Sensors WARNING Just prior to the system recognizing a blocked condition and alerting the driver, the number of missed objects will increase.

BLIS is not a replacement for careful driving and only an assist. E142442 The BLIS and cross traffic alert systems illuminate a yellow alert indicator in the outside mirror on the side of the vehicle the approaching vehicle is coming from. 213 MKZ (CC9)
