Blind Spot Information System (BLIS)
The blind spot information system (BLIS) is an auxiliary system designed to help the vehicle's driver when moving sideways. The blind spot information system (BLIS) consists of two cameras integrated in the external rear view mirrors and two LEDs located in the panel at the front of the inside of the respective windows.
The driver door module (DDM) and passenger door module (PDM) communicate with the left camera module (LCM) and right camera module (RCM) via LIN communication.
The blind spot information system (BLIS) is always activated automatically at speeds over 10 km/h (6 mph). The blind spot information system (BLIS) can be deactivated and reactivated using the switches on the comfort panel of the climate control module (CCM). A signal is then sent via the driver door module (DDM) and passenger door module (PDM) to the left camera module (LCM) and right camera module (RCM) with a request to deactivate or reactivate the blind spot information system (BLIS).
When reverse gear is engaged, the blind spot information system (BLIS) is deactivated.
The system reacts to vehicles in the blind spot if:
- the vehicle is traveling past another vehicle with a speed difference of up to 10 km/h
- another vehicle passes with a speed difference of up to 70 km/h.
The blind spot information system (BLIS) can be diagnosed.
