WARNING
The system does not react to cyclists or
moped riders.
The BLIS cameras have limitations similar
to those of the human eye, i.e. they do not
"see" as well e.g. in heavy snowfall,
against strong light or in thick fog.
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
isolated 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 combined instrument panel shows the
Blind spot syst. Service required
text
The following illustrations show examples of
situations where the BLIS indicator lamp may
illuminate even if there is no other vehicle
within the blind spot.
See (1) in the figure on page 199.

Maintenance
In order to work most effectively the BLIS
2
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.
IMPORTANT
Repair of the BLIS system components
must only be performed by a workshop -
an authorised Volvo workshop is recom-
mended.
