Ford Technology: BLIS with Cross Traffic Alert

 

Ford Technology: BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System) with Cross Traffic Alert
Ford BLISS with Cross Traffic Alert

This feature helps drivers change lanes or back out of a parking space with more confidence:

  • BLIS alerts when a vehicle enteres a blind spot (light illuminates on the sideview mirror)
  • Cross-traffic alert warns of traffic approaching from the sides when the vehicle is in reverse, such as backing out of a parking space (light illuminates on the sideview mirror and chimes sound in the cabin)
HOW TO SET
  • Use the Information Display to set On or Off. Scroll through the available menus by selecting:
    • – Settings > Driver Assist > Blind Spot > On/Off
    • – Settings > Driver Assist > Cross Traffic Alert > On/Off
  • Defaults to On each key cycle
HOW TO OPERATE
  • BLIS turns on when the engine is started and the vehicle is driven forward above 3 mph (5 km/h)
  • It remains on while the transmission is in D (Drive), S (Sport) or N (Neutral)
  • If shifted out of D (Drive), S (Sport) or N (Neutral), the system enters Cross-traffic Alert mode
  • Once shifted back into D (Drive) or S (Sport), BLIS turns back on when the vehicle is driven above 3 mph (5 km/h)
ADDITIONAL NOTES
  • The BLIS warning lights are located on the sideview mirrors
  • The warning system includes audio alerting, warning message and flashing sideview mirror warring light
  • Certain extreme weather conditions may block the sensor system, activating a warning message in the vehicle’s message center along with a tone sound.
