At one point or another, we have all missed seeing a vehicle in our blind spot when trying to change lanes. When this happens, it is a very disconcerting feeling that is usually met with adrenaline, a quick reaction, and probably the sound of the horn from the other vehicle.

Ford has addressed this issue with their blind spot information system known as BLIS. Using radar sensors in the rear quarter panels, BLIS can detect vehicles in your blind spot - up to ten feet away - and will alert you to them with a light in the corresponding side view mirror.

In addition to this is the brand’s helpful Cross-Traffic Alert feature. When backing up, BLIS switches off and the Cross Traffic Alert feature engages. If a vehicle within 15 yards is detected, your corresponding side mirror will notify you so that you have time to react.

If these safety technologies sound like attractive options to have in your next vehicle, then come down to Bob Thomas Ford Lincoln North in Fort Wayne, IN and test drive a BLIS enabled Ford today.
