BLIS*

driver detect vehicles diagonally behind and

Rear Collision Warning* is deactivated if  
the warning distance for collision warning  
in the City Safety function is set at the low-  
est level "Late".  
The seat belt pre-tensioning and braking  
functions are, however, still active.

support intended to facilitate driving  
and make it safer – it cannot handle all

tions in the Owner's Manual that relate  
to this function to learn about factors  
such as its limitations and what the  
driver should be aware of before using  
the system.  
The lamp illuminates on the side of the car  
where the system has detected the vehicle.  
If the car is overtaken on both sides at the  
same time then both lamps illuminate.  
GREEN button indication – the function is  
activated.

Driver support functions are not a sub-  
stitute for the driver's attention and  
judgement. The driver is always  
responsible for ensuring the car is  
driven in a safe manner, at the appro-  
priate speed, with an appropriate dis-  
tance to other vehicles, and in accord-  
ance with current traffic rules and reg-  
ulations.  
If BLIS is activated when starting the engine,  
the function is confirmed by the door mirror  
indicator lamps blinking once.  
If BLIS was deactivated when the engine was  
switched off, it will continue to be deactivated  
when the engine is next started and no indica-  
tor lights will then be illuminated.
