Blis* - Function - Volvo S80 Owner's Manual

BLIS has an integrated function that alerts the
driver if a fault should occur with the system.
For example, if one or both of the system's
cameras are obscured, a message (see the
table inBLIS* – messages (p. 231)) will
appear in the information display in the instru-
ment panel. If this occurs, clean the camera
lenses. If necessary, the system can be tem-
porarily switched off (for instructions, see
BLIS* – messages (p. 231)).
Areas monitored by BLIS Distance A = approx.
31 ft. (9.5 meters), Distance B = approx. 10 ft.

How BLIS functions in daylight and
darkness
Daylight
BLIS reacts to the shape of surrounding vehi-
cles. The system is designed to help detect
07 Driver support
motor vehicles such as cars, trucks, buses,
motorcycles, etc.
Darkness
BLIS reacts to the headlights of surrounding
vehicles. In order to be detected by BLIS, a
vehicle in the blind area must have its head-
lights on. This means, for example, that the
system will not detect a trailer without head-
lights that is being towed behind a car or
truck.
WARNING
•
BLIS does not react to cyclists or
mopeds.
•
BLIS does not react to vehicles that
are standing still.
•
The BLIS cameras have the same limi-
tation as the human eye. In other
words, their "vision is impaired" by
adverse weather conditions such as
heavy snowfall, intense light directly
into the camera, dense fog, etc.
