BLIS, an acronym for Blind Spot Information System, is a system of protection against collisions in the vehicle blind spot developed by Volvo. Volvo's previous parent Ford Motor Company has since adapted the system to its Ford, Lincoln (automobile), and Mercury (automobile) brands.
This system was first introduced in the Volvo S80 sedan. This system gives the driver a visible alert when switching lanes and a vehicle in the rear has entered your blind spot. The car uses two door mounted lenses to check the blind spot area for an impending collision.
On Ford products, the system was first introduced in the spring of 2009 on the 2010 Ford Fusion and Fusion Hybrid, 2010 Mercury Milan and Milan Hybrid and 2010 Lincoln MKZ and Mazda 6. This technology was also introduced on the 2010 Mazda CX-9 Grand Touring model.
