Narrative:

A C210 was on a vector heading 120 degrees for the downwind on a GPS approach for runway 30R at bfl. I gave a position briefing to my replacement; and in my briefing I specifically stated to the controller relieving me; 'watch out for the MVA's on the C210' and I turned on the MVA map as a favor for the relieving controller. At the time the briefing was over; the C210 was 5 miles from the MVA still on a vector of 120 degrees. The controller accepted the position and then I adjusted his name appropriately on the cru art computer. As I came back to the position approximately 45 seconds later; the C210 was still heading 120 level at 3;000 ft MSL heading right into a 4;500 ft MVA. I immediately told the controller who relieved me to turn and climb the aircraft. Shortly afterwards the aircraft exited the higher MVA. The aircraft was in the 4;500 ft MVA for approximately 3 minutes until he exited into a 2;500 ft MVA. I recommend making it procedure to not adjust the cru-art computer until your 2 minute overlap is complete.
