Side And Rear Vision: Overview
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Ford Explorer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
BLIS® is a vehicle feature that aids the driver in assessing whether another vehicle is within an area (blind zone) to either side of the vehicle extending rearward to approximately 3.05 m (10 ft) beyond the rear bumper while driving on roads and freeways. The system is not designed to prevent contact with other vehicles or objects. The CTA is a system that assists the driver in backing out of a parking space.
When a MyKey® restricted key is in use, the BLIS® and CTA system cannot be turned off in the IPC .
If the vehicle is towing a trailer the BLIS® or CTA system may detect the trailer and cause a false alert.
