BLIS威-CTA on/off and disable operation
The BLIS威 and/or the CTA can be turned off via the message center.
Turning the BLIS威 off does not turn off the CTA and vice-versa. If either
the BLIS威 or CTA is turned off, the systems will automatically turn back on
at the next ignition key cycle. When either the BLIS威 or CTA is turned off,
the message center displays BLIND SPOT SYS OFF and/or CTA SYSTEM
OFF. When the BLIS威 or CTA system is off, the driver will not receive
alerts. Refer to Message center in the Instrument Cluster chapter.
The BLIS威-CTA can be disabled permanently even after an ignition key
cycle. This must be done by your dealership service technician.
Once either of the systems are disabled, enabling must also be performed
at the dealership. When disabled, the message center will display BLIND
SPOT DISABLED and/or CTA DISABLED.
BLIS威-CTA fault operation
If the BLIS威-CTA senses a fault on either the left or right sensor, the
BLIS威 alert indicator will go ON and remain ON and the message center
will display BLIND SPOT SYSTEM FAULT or CROSS TRAFFIC SYSTEM
FAULT. For faults that may cause the associated left or right alert
indicator not to illuminate, only the message center faults will occur.
Blocked sensor
An extreme build up of materials on
the left and/or right quarter panel
fascias such as mud or snow can
cause degraded performance of the
BLIS威. Also, heavy rain can cause
the same effect. The BLIS威 can
detect this degraded performance
and issue a blocked warning to the driver via the message center. If
condition is determined by the system, the message center displays
BLIND SPOT NOT AVAILABLE or CROSS TRAFFIC NOT AVAILABLE
warning and the appropriate left and/or right exterior mirror alert
indicator will illuminate. The message center warning may be cleared by
the driver but the exterior mirror alert indicator will remain illuminated.
WARNING: Just prior to the system recognizing a blocked
condition and alerting the driver, the number of missed objects
will increase. To help avoid injuries, NEVER use the BLIS威 as a
replacement for using the side and rear view mirrors and looking over
your shoulder before changing lanes. BLIS威 is not a replacement for
careful driving and only an assist.
