Safety As for this edition's safety features, Pre-Collision Assist works together with Automatic Emergency Braking to warn you of possible collisions while also stopping the vehicle as a last resort to avoid them. BLIS, or the Blind Spot Information System, offers coverage for both the vehicle and a trailer, so you'll know if other vehicles are hiding in blind spots near either of them.
