The Ford BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System) with Cross-Traffic Alert is a guardian angel for drivers. Part of the Ford Co-Pilot360® system, it uses radar to detect vehicles you may not see. It's particularly adept at monitoring your vehicle's blind spots and sends alerts if a car enters this zone with a warning light in the corresponding side mirror.
Cross-Traffic Alert complements BLIS® by scanning for traffic behind your vehicle as you reverse. Parking lots and driveways are frequent scenes of low-speed accidents, but they're safer with this technology. When a vehicle approaches from either side while you're backing up, the system sends an audible alert and flashes a warning on the touchscreen. It reduces stress by actively helping prevent collisions.
