Repair of the BLIS system components
must only be performed by an authorised
Volvo workshop.
Cleaning
In order to work most effectively the BLIS
camera lenses must be clean. The lenses can
be cleaned with a soft cloth or damp sponge.
Clean the lenses carefully so that they are not
scratched.
IMPORTANT
The lenses are electrically heated to melt ice
or snow. If necessary, brush snow away
from the lenses.
Limitations
In some situations the BLIS indicator lamp
may illuminate despite there being no other
vehicle within the blind spot.
NOTE
If the BLIS indicator lamp illuminates on iso-
lated occasions despite there being no
other vehicle within the blind spot then this
does not mean that a fault has arisen in the
system.
In the event of a fault in the BLIS system
the display shows the text BLIS Serv.
required .
Here are several examples of situations
where the BLIS indicator lamp may illuminate
even if there is no other vehicle within the
blind spot.
