BLIS Warning Sound

[FordService]

I will swear on whatever that mine beeped at me the entire 4 hour drive home from balitmore to pitt after I bought it. When I got home I was playing with all the settings and I've never heard it in the 2,000 miles since, nor can I find an option to turn it on/off, nor does anyone else seem to believe that it can be enabled...

Mine beeped (and flashed) when I had my turn signal on. Never heard anything with my signal off...

Pretty sure the cross traffic alert thing beeps when you are in reverse but the BLIS doesn't beep .... unless you are driving everywhere backwards. I believe that the light comes on when there is a vehicle beside you and the the light flashes when there is a vehicle beside you and you have the signal light on.

My BLIS light in the mirror comes on "steady" when a car enter the blind spot to the rear and flashes as the car approaches the door.

It flashes if the car approaches AND the turn signal is on.

Yeah I thought I was missing something... regardless it's better than the dual mirror shenanigans that the 200A package has, but still I wish for audio.
Unless, somebody has found a way to uncover this in the settings?

Silence is BLIS. Mine has never made a peep while I'm in a forward gear.

Hi guys,

Here’s what I found on BLIS (Blind Spot Information System) with Cross-traffic Alert for you:

BLIS
• Alerts the driver if another vehicle is detected in the “blind zone” by utilizing two radar sensors located behind each rear wheel
– Exterior mirror indicator illuminates when a vehicle in an adjacent lane is detected in the blind zone from behind
– If the turn signal is activated on the same side of the approaching vehicle, the mirror indicator will flash as an additional warning
• System is automatically engaged when the vehicle is placed in Drive
• System can be turned off through the message center but defaults to “on” when the vehicle is restarted

Cross-traffic Alert
• Utilizes the same radar sensors as BLIS
• Warns the driver if approaching vehicles are detected when slowly backing out of a parking spot or reversing onto a road
– Exterior mirror indicator illuminates and a series of tones sound if an oncoming vehicle is detected
– Depending on the direction of the approaching vehicle, the message center will display:
• VEHICLE COMING FROM LEFT
• VEHICLE COMING FROM RIGHT
• Automatically engages when vehicle is placed in Reverse to detect moving motorized vehicles and bicycles with a time to impact of up to 3 seconds from either the left or right side of the vehicle

I hope this helps.
