BLIND SPOT MONITOR
Blind spot information system
(BLIS)
WARNINGS
The system is not designed to
prevent contact with other vehicles
or objects. The system only provides
a warning to assist you in detecting
vehicles in the blind spot zones. The
system will not detect obstacles,
pedestrians, motorcyclists or cyclists. Do not use the system as a
replacement for using the side and
rear view mirrors, and looking over
your shoulder before changing lanes. The
system is not a replacement for careful
driving and is only to be used as an aid. The system is a convenience feature that
aids the driver in detecting vehicles that
may have entered the blind spot zone (A).
The detection area is on both sides of the
vehicle extending rearwards from the
exterior mirrors to approximately 3 metres
(10 feet) beyond the bumper. The system
will alert you if certain vehicles enter the
blind spot zone whilst driving.
Using the system
The system displays a yellow indicator
located in the exterior mirrors.
Note:
Both indicators will illuminate briefly
when you switch the ignition on to confirm
that the system is operational.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Note:
On vehicles with automatic
transmission, the system is active only in S,
D and N.
The system is only active when you exceed
10 km/h (6 mph). The system is
temporarily deactivated when you select
reverse gear.
System detection and alerts
The system will trigger the alert for vehicles
that enter the blind spot zone from the rear
or merge from the side. Vehicles that you
pass, or vehicles that enter the blind spot
zone from the front, will only trigger the
alert after the vehicle has remained in the
blind spot zone for a short period of time.
Note: Vehicles that pass through the blind
zone quickly (typically less than 2 seconds)
will not trigger the alert.
The system consists of two radar sensors
each located behind the rear wheels
hidden behind the bumpers. CAUTIONS
Do not place items such as bumper
stickers in this area.
Repairs to these areas using body filler
will affect the performance of the
system. Detection limitations
There may be certain instances where
vehicles entering and exiting the blind spot
zones may not be detected.
Instances which may cause non-detection:
•
Debris build up on the rear bumper
panels in the area of the sensors.
• Certain manoeuvring of vehicles
entering and exiting the blind zone.
• Vehicles passing through the blind zone
at high speed.
• Severe weather conditions.
• Several vehicles passing through the
blind zone following each other closely.
False alerts
Note: False alerts are temporary and will
self correct.
There may be certain instances when the
system will alert with no vehicle present in
the blind zone.
Circumstances where false alerts may
occur:
• Road guardrails.
• Motorway concrete walls.
• Construction areas.
• Sharp turns around a building.
• Bushes and trees.
• Cyclists and motorcyclists.
• Coming to a stop with a vehicle directly
behind but very close.
Turning the system on and off
Note: The on or off position will remain until
manually changed.
You can turn the system on and off using
the information display. See Information
Displays (page 83).

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine When you turn the system off no further
alerts will be received. The BLIS warning
indicator will illuminate. See Warning
Lamps and Indicators (page 79).
Detection errors
Note:
The alert indicator in the mirror will
not illuminate.
If the system senses a fault on either
sensor, the system warning symbol will
illuminate and remain on. The information
display will confirm the fault and indicate
whether the left or right side is affected.
Blocked sensor WARNING
Prior to the system recognizing a
blocked condition and issuing a
warning, the number of missed
objects will increase. CAUTION
The sensors may not detect vehicles
in heavy rain or other conditions that
cause disruptive reflections.
Note:
Keep the rear bumper area
surrounding the sensors free from dirt, ice
and snow.
If a sensor becomes blocked the system
performance may degrade. A blocked
sensor message may be displayed.
The system will automatically return to
normal operation once two other vehicles
have been detected on both sides. Trailer towing false alerts CAUTION
Vehicles fitted with a trailer tow
module not approved by us may not
correctly be detected. Switch the
system off to avoid false alerts. See
Information Displays (page 83). If the vehicle is fitted with a trailer tow
module approved by us, the system will
detect a connected trailer and deactivate.
A confirmation message will be shown in
the information display. See Information
Messages (page 90). The BLIS warning
indicator will illuminate. See Warning
Lamps and Indicators (page 79).
