Blind Spot Monitoring: Overview
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2015 Lincoln MKT. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
BLIS® is a vehicle feature that aids the driver in assessing whether another vehicle is within an area (blind zone) to either side of the vehicle extending rearward to approximately 3.05 m (10 ft) beyond the rear bumper while driving on roads and freeways. The system is not designed to prevent contact with other vehicles or objects. The CTA system assists the driver in backing out of a parking space.
When a MyKey® restricted key is in use, the BLIS® and CTA system cannot be turned off in the IPC.
If the vehicle is towing a trailer, the BLIS® or CTA system may detect the trailer and cause a false alert.
