When BLIS operates
Principle for BLIS: 1. Zone in blind spot. 2. Zone
for rapidly approaching vehicle.
The BLIS function is active at speeds above
approx. 10 km/h.
The system is designed to react when:
•
the driver's vehicle is overtaken by other
vehicles
•
the driver's vehicle is rapidly caught up
by another vehicle.
When BLIS detects a vehicle in zone 1 or a
quickly approaching vehicle in zone 2, the
door panel BLIS lamp illuminates with a con-
07
stant glow. If the driver activates the direction
indicator on the same side as the warning in
this situation then the BLIS lamp will change
from a constant glow to flashing with a more
intense light.

WARNING
BLIS does not work in sharp bends.
BLIS does not work when the car is being
reversed.
Limitations
•
Dirt, ice and snow covering sensors can
reduce functionality and make it impossi-
ble to provide warnings. BLIS cannot
detect hazards if it is covered.
•
Do not affix any objects, tape or labels in
the area of the sensors.
•
BLIS is deactivated when a trailer is con-
nected to the car's electrical system.
IMPORTANT
Repair of the BLIS and CTA functions'
components or repainting the bumpers
must only be performed by a workshop -
an authorised Volvo workshop is recom-
mended.
