BLIS - operation
BLIS (Blind Spot Information System) is a func-
tion designed for providing support for the driver
when driving in dense traffic on roads with sev-
eral lanes in the same direction.

is confirmed by the indicator lamps in the door
panels flashing once.

The BLIS function can be deactivated/activated
by pressing the BLIS button on the centre con-
sole.
Some combinations of the selected equipment
leave no vacant space for a button in the centre
console - in which case the function is handled
by the car's menu system MY CAR27:
•Select On or Off at Settings Car
settings BLIS.
When BLIS is deactivated/activated the lamp in
the button goes out/illuminates and the com-
bined instrument panel confirms the change with
a text message. The door panel indicator lamps
flash once upon activation.
To extinguish the message:
•Press the left stalk switch OK button.

guishes.
When BLIS operates
Principle for BLIS: 1. Zone in blind spot. 2. Zone for
quickly approaching vehicle.
The BLIS function is active at speeds above
10 km/h (6 mph).
The system is designed to react when:
•the vehicle is overtaken by other vehicles
•another vehicle is quickly approaching the
vehicle.
When BLIS detects a vehicle in zone 1 or a
quickly approaching vehicle in zone 2, the door
panel BLIS lamp illuminates with a constant glow.
If the driver activates the direction indicator on
the same side as the warning in this situation
then the BLIS lamp will change from a constant
glow to flashing with a more intense light.
