Limitations of Blind Spot
Information*
The Blind Spot Information (BLIS) function may
have limitations in certain situations.
Examples of limitations:
•
Dirt, ice and snow covering the sensors may
reduce the functions and deactivate alerts.
•
BLIS is deactivated when a trailer is con-
nected to the car's electrical system.
Sensors
The sensors for the BLIS function are located
inside each corner of the rear wing/bumper. The
sensors are also used by the Cross Traffic Alert
(CTA) function.
Keep this surface area clean - on both sides.
To ensure optimal functionality, the areas in front
of the sensors must be kept clean.
340
Do not affix any objects, tape or labels in the area
of the sensors.
In some cases, the system detects that one or
both sensors are blocked and then shows the
message
Blind spot sensor Rear sensors
blocked, cleaning needed
in the driver display
- check and rectify as soon as possible.
IMPORTANT
Repair of the BLIS and CTA functions' com-
ponents or repainting the bumpers must only
be performed by a workshop - an authorised
Volvo workshop is recommended.

Cross Traffic Alert*
Cross Traffic Alert (CTA) is a driver aid that is
intended to warn of crossing traffic when the car
is reversing. CTA is a supplement to Blind Spot
Information (BLIS).
Principle of CTA.
CTA supplements the functionality of BLIS by
providing the ability to see crossing traffic
approaching from the side, such as while revers-
ing out of a parking space.
CTA is primarily designed to detect vehicles. In
favourable conditions it may also be able to
detect smaller objects, such as cyclists and
pedestrians.
CTA is only active if the car rolls backwards or if
reverse gear has been selected.
* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
