NOTE
BLIS*
Overview
BLIS (Blind Spot Information) is a camera-
based information system that under certain
conditions can help the driver to notice vehi-
cles moving in the same direction as the host
vehicle in the so-called "blind spot".
A bike carrier or other accessory mounted
on the rear of the car could obscure the
camera's view.
The system is designed to work most effec-
tively when driving in dense traffic on multi-
lane highways.
To bear in mind
Pay attention to the possibility that, even if it
only looks like a relatively small part of the
image is obscured, it could be a relatively
large sector that is hidden from view. Obsta-
cles could thereby go undetected until they
are very close to the car.
WARNING
The system is a supplement to, not a
replacement for, a safe driving style and
use of the rearview mirrors. It can never
replace the driver's attention and responsi-
bility. The responsibility for changing lanes
safely always rests with the driver.

the same time then both lamps illuminate.
