DRIVER SUPPORT
BLIS*
The BLIS98 function is intended to help the
driver detect vehicles diagonally behind and
to the side of the car so as to provide assis-
tance in heavy traffic on roads with several
lanes in the same direction.
The warning with direction indicators for
Rear Collision Warning* is deactivated if
the warning distance for collision warning
in the City Safety function is set at the low-
est level "Late".
The seat belt pre-tensioning and braking
functions are, however, still active.

radar units, which have certain general lim-
