The BLIS 88
function is designed to help pro-
vide assistance in heavy traffic with several lanes moving in the same direction by helpingthe driver to detect the presence of vehiclesin the "blind spot" area behind and to the sideof the vehicle.
Location of BLIS indicator light
BLIS is a driver support system designed to alert the driver of:
vehicles in your "blind spot"
vehicles approaching rapidly in adjacentlanes.
BLIS overview
Blind spot zone
Rapidly approaching vehicle zone
The system is designed to react to:
vehicles passing your vehicle
vehicles that are rapidly approaching your vehicle from behind.
When BLIS detects a vehicle in zone 1 or arapidly approaching vehicle in zone 2, an indi-cator light will illuminate in the relevant rear-view mirror and glow steadily. If the driverthen uses the turn signal on the side in whichthe warning has been given, the indicator lightwill become brighter and begin flashing. BLIS is active when your vehicle is traveling at a speed over 10 km/h (6 mph).

Driver Alert Control limitations
Driver Alert Control (DAC) functionality may be reduced in certain situations.
In certain situations, the system may provide a warning even if it has not detected a change indriving behavior, e.g.: in strong crosswinds
on grooved road surfaces.
WARNING
In certain cases, driving behavior might not be affected despite the driver's fatigue – when using the Pilot Assist
* function –
resulting in the driver not getting a warning from DAC. It is therefore very important to always stop and take a break at the slightest signof fatigue, regardless of whether the func-tion has issued a warning or not.
NOTE
The function uses the vehicle's camera and radar sensor, which has certain generallimitations.

Distance Alert
*93
The Distance Alert function can help the driver become aware if the time interval tothe vehicle in front is too short. The vehicle must be equipped with a head-up display * in
order to display Distance Alert.
Symbol for Distance Alert on the windshield with head-up display
In vehicles equipped with a head-up display, a symbol will be displayed on the windshield aslong as the time interval to the vehicle aheadis shorter than the set time interval. However, the
Show Driver Support function must be
activated under Settings in the vehicle's menu system. Distance Alert is active at speeds above 30 km/h (20 mph) and only reacts for vehicles ahead moving in the same directionas your vehicle. No distance information isprovided for oncoming, slow-moving or sta-tionary vehicles.
NOTE
Visual warnings on the windshield may be difficult to notice in cases of strong sun-light, reflections, extreme light contrasts,or if the driver is wearing sunglasses or isnot looking straight ahead.
NOTE
Distance Alert is deactivated while Adap- tive Cruise Control
* or Pilot Assist * is
active.
WARNING
Distance Alert only reacts of the time inter- val to the vehicle ahead is shorter than thepreset value – vehicle speed is not affec-ted.

WARNING
Detection ability may be affected by vehicle size, e.g. motorcycles, whichcan cause the warning light to come onat a shorter time interval than that setor cause the warning to be temporarilyabsent.
Very high speeds can cause the light tocome on at a shorter time interval thanthat set due to limitations in the rangeof the radar unit.

The vehicle is parked very far into a parking space.
In a diagonal parking space, Cross Traffic Alert may be completely "blind" on one side of your vehicle.
Blind zone.
The function's field of vision.
However, as you back your vehicle slowly out of a parking space, CTA's field of vision changes in relation to the obstructing vehicle/object and its blind zone is reduced.
Examples of further limitations

The
auto brake subfunction only detects
vehicles in motion and may therefore not
"see" and brake for e.g. stationary obsta- cles, a cyclists or a pedestrian.
Dirt, ice and snow covering the sensorsmay reduce functionality and prevent thesystem from providing warnings.
CTA is automatically deactivated if atrailer, bicycle holder or similar is con-nected to the vehicle's electrical system.
For CTA to function effectively, bicycleholders, luggage racks or similar shouldnot be mounted on the vehicle's towbar.
NOTE
The function uses the vehicle's radar sen- sors, which have certain general limita-tions.

Park Assist *
The Park Assist function (PAS 101
) uses sen-
sors to help the driver when maneuvering in tight spaces by indicating distances to obsta-cles using audible signals and graphics in thecenter display.
Display view showing obstacle zones and sensor sectors.
The center display shows an overview of the vehicle in relation to objects that have beendetected. The marked sector indicates where the obsta- cle is located. The closer the vehicle symbol isto a marked sector forward/rearward, thecloser the detected obstacle is to your vehicle. The side sectors change color as the distance between the vehicle and an object decreases. The audible signals will also speed up thecloser the obstacle is to the vehicle. The vol-ume of the audio system will be automaticallylowered. Audible signals for obstacles in front and to the sides of the vehicle are active when thevehicle is moving but will cease after the vehi-cle has been stationary for approx. 2 seconds.Audible signals for obstacles behind the vehi-cle will remain active even when the vehicle isstationary. If a detected obstacle is within approx. 30 cm (1 ft) from the front or rear of the vehicle, thetone will become constant and the active sen-sor field closest to the vehicle symbol will befilled in. At distances within approx. 25 cm (0.8 ft) from an obstacle to the sides of the vehicle, anrapid pulsing signal will be given and theactive sector fields will change color fromORANGE to RED. The volume of the Park Assist audible signals can be adjusted while the signal is being givenusing the
>II knob or in the center display's
Top view under
Settings.
NOTE
Besides in the sector closest to the vehicle symbol, audible warnings are only providedfor objects located directly in the vehicle'spath.
