Driving Aids BLIND SPOT INFORMATION SYSTEM Blind Spot Information System (BLIS®) with Cross Traffic Alert (If Equipped) WARNING To help avoid injuries, NEVER use the BLIS as a replacement for using the interior and exterior mirrors and looking over your shoulder before changing lanes. BLIS is not a replacement for careful driving. BLIS aids you in detecting vehicles that may have entered the blind spot zone (A). The detection area is on both sides of the vehicle, extending rearward from the exterior mirrors to approximately 9.8 ft (3 m) beyond the bumper. The system alerts you if certain vehicles enter the blind spot zone while driving. Cross traffic alert warns you of vehicles approaching from the sides when the transmission is in reverse (R). Note: BLIS is not designed to prevent contact with other vehicles or objects; or to detect parked vehicles, people, animals or infrastructure (for example, fences, guardrails or trees). It is designed to alert the driver to vehicles in the blind zones. 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 vehicle is started and is driven forward above 5 mph (8 km/h); it remains on while the transmission is in drive (D) or neutral (N). If shifted out of drive (D) or neutral (N), the system enters cross traffic alert mode. Once shifted back into drive (D), BLIS turns back on when the vehicle is driven above 5 mph (8 km/h). Note: BLIS does not function in reverse (R) or park (P) or provide any additional warning when a turn signal is on. Note: Cross traffic alert detects approaching vehicles from up to 45.9 ft (14 m) away though coverage decreases when the sensors are blocked. Reversing slowly helps increase the coverage area and effectiveness. A A E124788 217 MKZ (), enUSA
