Blind Spot information System (BliS)
BLIS uses rear-facing cameras installed in the door mirrors
to keep a lookout on either side of the car. As a vehicle
enters your blind spot, this function can alert you with a
lamp built in to the front door post – left or right. Together
with the door mirrors, this helps you assess the feasibility
of a lane change. BLIS is activated once the car exceeds
10 km/h, and reacts to almost any type of vehicle from a
motorcycle upwards, day or night.
rain sensor
Once activated, the rain sensor can start the windscreen
wipers as soon as it begins to rain or if water splashes
onto the windscreen. For your convenience, it can also
automatically adapt the intermittent windscreen-wiper
function. Its sensitivity can be adjusted via a ring on the
wiper stalk.

TeCh & SounD Communication
park assist, rear and front
Activated when you engage reverse gear, rear park assist
helps you when reversing into tight spaces. The audio
system is turned down and a pulsating sound from the rear
loudspeakers becomes a continuous tone as you approach
an obstacle. Front park assist performs a similar function
at the front of the vehicle – alerting you via the front
loudspeakers. The remaining distance is also shown on
the audio display.
u park Assist Camera
If the car is equipped with RTI navigation and park assist
camera, this helps display what's going on behind your car
when reversing. The system uses the RTI screen and a
camera discretely located over the license plate. On-screen
guiding lines provide extra assistance for smooth parking.
Automatically dimmed inner rear-view mirror
This is a mirror that automatically adjusts itself to deflect the headlamp beams of the car behind
you. When there's no light to dazzle you, it automatically readjusts to its normal setting. This can be
supplemented with an integrated compass.
power parking Brake
The Power Parking Brake (PPB) makes moving off from steep gradients easier. Once depressed, the
PPB control lever automatically releases as the car pulls away.
integrated phone
For minimum distraction, the integrated GSM phone allows you to
make calls from your pre-programmed telephone book using the
steering wheel integrated controls and the car's generous information
display. You can also make calls using the keypad in the centre
console. When the car is stationary, you can read and send SMS text
messages. Communication and convenience are further enhanced
by an integrated microphone and the audio system, while the
SIM-card reader is easily reached inside the glove compartment.
For more private conversations, there's an extra handset.
road and Traffic information (rTi)
Volvo's GPS-based RTI navigation system is totally integrated with
your car. It offers both voice guidance and graphic navigation all the
way to your destination. Via TMC (Traffic Message Channel) radio
data broadcasts RTI also lets you know if there's weather-related
trouble on route and recommends an alternative. The RTI system is
easily controlled from the steering wheel or a remote, and the
screen is positioned so you can keep your attention on traffic.
When not in use, the screen retracts into the dash.
The maps are on one DVD and cover major parts of Europe. To help you
keep track of new roads and points of interest, you can join our MapCare
programme for two free map updates.
integrated Bluetooth ® handsfree system
u Bluetooth ® handsfree system
Bluetooth ® technology enables a mobile phone to be
connected to the infotainment system in your Volvo,
wirelessly. Once configured for a mobile phone, the
system automatically recognises your phone as you
enter the car. And as you climb in and out of the car, the
system automatically allows you to switch freely from
the phone to the handsfree system and back again. With
Volvo's integrated Bluetooth ® handsfree system you
conveniently operate your phone using the buttons in
the steering wheel or the centre console keypad. To
further enhance your comfort and safety, you can also
add Volvo On Call roadside assistance and emergency
service. Available as an accessory, there's also a voice-
controlled Bluetooth ® handsfree system that will listen
to your command and make calls for you.
