Limitations

In certain situations, the BLIS indicator light(s)
may illuminate even when there are no other
vehicles in the area monitored by the system.

NOTE

sionally even when there are no other vehi-

cles in the blind area, this does not indicate

a fault in the system.

The following are several examples of situa-
tions in which the BLIS indicator light(s) may
illuminate even when there are no other vehi-
cles in the area monitored by the system.

smooth surface such as barriers between lanes on

Cleaning the BLIS camera lenses

In order to function optimally, the BLIS camera
lenses must be kept clean. They can be wiped
clean with a soft cloth or wet sponge.

CAUTION

Clean the lenses carefully to avoid

scratching.

The lenses are electrically heated to

help melt ice or snow. If necessary, gen-

tly brush away snow from the lenses.
