Switching the Systems Off and On
One or both systems can be switched off temporarily by using the
information display control; refer to the Information Display chapter.
When the BLIS® is switched off, the driver does not receive alerts and
the information display shows BLIND SPOT SYS OFF and/or CTA
SYSTEM OFF. The system switches back on whenever the ignition is
switched on.
One or both systems can also be switched off permanently at your
authorized dealer. Once switched off, switching it back on must also be
done at the dealership.

collisions with vehicles to the rear or sides of the vehicle.
Note: The collision warning system is active at speeds above
approximately 5 mph (8 km/h).
