BLIS® with Cross-Traffic Alert

Illustration showing BLIS radar sensor detecting vehicle in blind spot
BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System) can alert you to a vehicle detected alongside and difficult to see in a blind spot.10 The system uses radar sensors on both sides near the rear of the vehicle. When a vehicle is detected in your blind spot, you are alerted with an indicator light in the sideview mirror. The Cross-Traffic Alert feature also uses this radar to help detect traffic behind your vehicle when you’re slowly backing out of a parking spot or driveway.10 When it detects a vehicle approaching from either side, it flashes an indicator light in the sideview mirrors (same as BLIS) and emits an audible warning. Also, a visual display in the message center indicates from which direction the vehicle is coming.
