When BLIS operates
Principle for BLIS: 1. Zone in blind spot. 2. Zone
for quickly approaching vehicle.
The BLIS function is active at speeds above
approx. 10 km/h.
The system is designed to react when:
the vehicle is overtaken by other vehicles
another vehicle is quickly approaching
the 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-
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.
