there being no vehicle within the blind spot,
the cause could be for example, reflection
from shiny wet road surface, own shadow on
light road surface or low sun in the camera.
In the event of a direct fault in the system
the display shows the text BLIS SERVICE
REQUIRED.
BLIS – BLIND SPOT INFORMATION
SYSTEM*
Washing by hand is gentler to the paintwork
than an automatic car wash. The paintwork
is also more sensitive when it is new. For
this reason, handwashing is recommended
during the first few months with a new car.
Use clean water and a washing sponge.
Remember that dirt and grit can scratch the
paint.
