Blind Spot Information (BLIS)* limitations

Blind Spot Information functionality may be reduced in certain situations.
  • Dirt, ice and snow on the sensors may reduce functionality and prevent the system from providing warnings.
  • Do not attach any objects, tape, decals, etc., on the surface of the sensors.
  • BLIS is deactivated if a trailer is attached to the vehicle's electrical system.

Maintenance

The BLIS/CTA1 sensors are located on the inside of the rear fenders/bumper.
