2007 Volvo S80 Owners Manual

NOTE

Press the brake pedal hard and maintain pressure on the pedal - do not pump the brakes.

WARNING

If the fluid level is below the MIN mark in the reservoir or if a brake system message is shown in the information display: DO NOT DRIVE. Have the vehicle towed to a trained and qualified Volvo service technician and have the brake system inspected.

Power brakes function only when the engine is running The power brakes utilize vacuum pressure which is only created when the engine is running. Never let the vehicle roll to a stop with the engine switched off.

If the power brakes are not working, the brake pedal must be pressed approximately five times harder than usual to make up for the lack of power assistance. This can happen for example when towing your vehicle or if the engine is switched off when the vehicle is rolling. The brake pedal feels harder than usual.

Water on brake discs and brake pads affects braking Driving in rain and slush or passing through an automatic car wash can cause water to collect on the brake discs and pads. This will cause a delay in braking effect when the pedal is depressed. To avoid such a delay when the brakes are needed, depress the pedal occasionally when driving through rain, slush, etc. This will remove the water from the brakes. Check that brake application feels normal. This should also be done after washing or starting in very damp or cold weather.

Severe strain on the brake system The brakes will be subject to severe strain when driving in mountains or hilly areas, or when towing a trailer. Vehicle speed is usually slower, which means that the cooling of the brakes is less efficient than when driving on level roads. To reduce the strain on the brakes, shift into a lower gear and let the engine help with the braking. Do not forget that if you are towing a trailer, the brakes will be subjected to a greater than normal load.

Anti-lock braking system The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) helps to improve vehicle control (stopping and steering) during severe braking conditions by limiting brake lockup. When the system "senses" impending lockup, braking pressure is automatically modulated in order to help prevent lockup that could lead to a skid.

The system performs a self-diagnostic test when the engine is started and when the vehicle first reaches a speed of approximately 12 mph (20 km/h). The brake pedal will pulsate several times and a sound may be audible from the ABS control module. This is normal.

108 03 Your driving environment

Brakes

Cleaning the brake discs Coatings of dirt and water on the brake discs may result in delayed brake function. This delay is minimized by cleaning the brake linings.

Cleaning the brake pads is advisable in wet weather, prior to long-term parking, and after the vehicle has been washed. Do this by braking gently for a short period while the vehicle is moving.

Emergency Brake Assistance EBA is designed to provide full brake effect immediately in the event of sudden, hard braking. The system is activated by the speed with which the brake pedal is depressed.

When the EBA system is activated, the brake pedal will go down and pressure in the brake system immediately increases to the maximum level. Maintain full pressure on the brake pedal in order to utilize the system completely. EBA is automatically deactivated when the brake pedal is released.

NOTE

When the EBA system is activated, the brake pedal will go down and pressure in the brake system immediately increases to the maximum level. You must maintain full pressure on the brake pedal in order to utilize the system completely. There will be no braking effect if the pedal is released. EBA is automatically deactivated when the brake pedal is released.

When the vehicle has been parked for some time, the brake pedal may sink more than usual when the engine is

started. This is normal and the pedal will return to its usual position when it is released.

Climate system

Introduction

Air conditioning The vehicle is equipped with Electronic Climate Control (ECC). The climate control system cools, heats or dehumidifies the air in the passenger compartment.

NOTE

The air conditioning can be switched off, but to ensure the best possible climate comfort in the passenger

compartment and to prevent the windows from misting, it should always be on.

In warm weather, a small amount of water may accumulate under the car when it has been parked. This water is

condensation from the A/C system and is normal.

Sensor location

The sun sensor is located on the top side of the dashboard. The temperature sensor for the passenger compartment is located below the climate control panel. The outside temperature sensor is located on the door mirror. The humidity sensor (option) is located in the interior rearview mirror.

NOTE

Do not cover or block the sensors with clothing or other objects.

Side windows and moonroof To ensure that the air conditioning works optimally, the side windows, and the optional moonroof should be closed.

Misting windows Remove misting on the insides of the windows by primarily using the defroster function. To reduce the risk of misting, clean the windows with a normal window cleaning agent.

Vents in the parcel shelf

NOTE

The air vents at the rear of the parcel shelf should never be obstructed.

Temporary shut-off of the air conditioning The air conditioning is momentarily disengaged during full-throttle acceleration or when driving uphill with a trailer. This may result in a temporary increase in cabin temperature.

Ice and snow Always keep the air intake grille at the base of the windshield free of snow.

Climate system maintenance Special tools and equipment are required to maintain and carry out repairs on the climate system. Work of this type should only be done by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician.

Refrigerant Volvo cares about the environment. The air conditioning system in your car contains a CFC-free refrigerant - R134a. This substance will not deplete the ozone layer. The air conditioning system contains 1.59 lbs (720 g) of R134a. The systems uses PAG oil.

Passenger compartment filter Replace the cabin air filter with a new one at the recommended intervals. Please refer to your Warranty and Service Records Information booklet, or consult a trained and qualified Volvo service technician for these intervals. The filter should be replaced more often when driving under dirty and dusty conditions. The filter cannot be cleaned and therefore should always be replaced with a new one.

119 04 Comfort and driving pleasure

Climate system

NOTE

There are different types of cabin air filters. Ensure that the correct type is installed.

Interior Air Quality System (IAQS) A multifilter helps reduce gases and particles in the incoming air, thereby reducing the levels of odors and contaminants entering the vehicle. The air quality sensor detects increased levels of contaminants in the outside air. When the air quality sensor detects contaminated outside air, the air intake closes and the air inside the passenger compartment is recirculated, i.e. no outside air enters the vehicle. The filter also cleans recirculated passenger compartment air.

NOTE

Contact your Volvo retailer for IAQS air filter replacement intervals.

Menu settings The default settings for three of the climate system's functions can be changed in the menu system, see page 115:

Blower speed in automatic mode, see page 122. Recirculation timer for passenger compartment air, see page 122. Automatic rear window defrosting, see page 95.

The functions can also be returned to factory settings in the menu system.

Air distribution

The incoming air is distributed from 20 different vents in the passenger compartment. Air distribution is fully automatic in AUTO mode.

If desired, air distribution can be controlled manually, see page 124.

Climate system

Ventilated front seats (option) The ventilation system consists of fans in the seats and backrests that draw air through the seat upholstery. The cooling effect increases as the air in the passenger compartment becomes cooler.

The ventilation is controlled by the ECC system, which takes into account the seat temperature, sunlight in the passenger compartment, and the ambient temperature.

The ventilation can be used at the same time as seat heating. For example, the function can be used to dry damp clothing.

The ventilation system can be activated when the engine is running. There are three comfort levels that produce different cooling and dehumidification effects:

Level three: press the button once for maximum output - three indicator lights come on. Level two: press the button twice for a lower output - two indicator lights come on. Level one: press the button three times for the lowest output - one indicator light comes on. Press the button a fourth time to switch off the function - the indicator light will go out.

Blower control

Turn the control clockwise to increase or counterclockwise to decrease the blower speed. Pressing the AUTO switch will automatically regulate blower speed and override manual adjustment.

NOTE

If the blower is turned off completely, the air conditioning is disengaged.

Heated front seats (option)

 Press the button once for the highest heat level - three indicator lights come on. Press the button twice for a lower heat level - two indicator lights come on. Press the button three times for the lowest heat level - one indicator light comes on. Press the button four times to switch off the heat - no indicator lights come on.

Heated rear seats1

Heat control for the outboard seating positions takes place in the same way as for the front seat.

Air distribution

The figure consists of three buttons. When the buttons are pressed, an indicator light in front of the respective part of the figure illuminates and shows which air distribution is selected, see page 124.

Climate system

Auto

The function automatically regulates cooling, heating, blower speed, recirculation, and air distribution to maintain the chosen temperature. If you select one or more manual functions, the other functions continue to be controlled automatically. The air quality sensor is engaged and all manual settings are switched off when AUTO is pressed. The display shows AUTO CLIMATE.

Blower speed in automatic mode can be set under Climate settings Normal or High.

NOTE

Selecting the lowest blower speed may increases the risk of fog forming on the windows.

For a description of the menu system, see page 115.

Temperature control

The temperatures on the driver and passenger sides can be set independently. When the vehicle is started, the most recent setting is resumed.

NOTE

Heating or cooling cannot be speeded up by selecting a higher/lower temperature than the actual temperature required.

A/C - ON/OFF

The air conditioning is controlled automatically by the system when the ON light is on. This cools/heats and dehumidifies the incoming air. When the OFF light is on, the air conditioning is always disengaged. Other functions are still controlled automatically. When defroster is selected, the air conditioning system is set for maximum blower speed and dehumidification.

Defroster

This function defrosts/deices the windshield and front side windows. The indicator light in the defroster button lights when the function is active.

Blower speed increases automatically and the air conditioning will switch on (if not already on and if the passenger

compartment blower is not turned off) to dehumidify the air in the passenger compartment.

Recirculation will not function while defrost is engaged.

The climate system will return to its previous settings when the defroster function is switched off.

Recirculation/air quality system Recirculation

This function can be used to shut out exhaust fumes, smoke, etc from the passenger compartment. The air in the passenger compartment is then recirculated, i.e., no air from outside the car is taken into the car when this function is activated.

123 04 Comfort and driving pleasure

Climate system

If the air in the car recirculates for too long, there is a risk of condensation forming on the insides of the windows, especially in winter.

Timer The timer function minimizes the risk of fogging, or stale air when the recirculation function is selected by automatically switching off the function after a certain length of time, depending on the ambient temperature. Activate/deactivate the function under Climate control settings system, see page 115.

Recirculation timer. For a description of the menu

NOTE

When Defroster is selected, recirculation is always deactivated.

Interior Air Quality System-IAQS (option)

This system consists of a multifilter and an air quality sensor. The filter helps remove gases and particles from the incoming air, thereby reducing the amounts of odors and contaminants entering the vehicle. The air quality sensor detects increased levels of contaminants in the outside air. When the air quality sensor detects contaminated outside air, the air intake closes and the air inside the passenger compartment is recirculated, i.e., no outside air enters the vehicle. The filter also cleans recirculated passenger compartment air. When the AUTO button is depressed the air quality sensor is always engaged.

Activating the air quality sensor

Switch between the three functions by pressing the button repeatedly.

The left orange light comes on - the air quality sensor is disengaged. The center green light comes on - recirculation not engaged, providing it is not required for cooling in hot weather. The right orange light comes on - recirculation is engaged.

NOTE

The air quality sensor should always be engaged in order to obtain the best air in the passenger compartment. Recirculation is limited in cold weather to avoid fogging. If the insides of the windows start fogging, disengage the air quality sensor. Use the defroster function to increase

airflow to the front, side, and rear windows.

Stability system

Introduction

The Dynamic Stability and Traction Control system (DSTC) consists of a number of functions designed help reduce wheel spin, counteract skidding, and to generally help improve directional stability.

CAUTION

A pulsating sound will be audible when the system is actively operating and is normal.

Traction control (TC) This function is designed to help reduce wheel spin by transferring power from a drive wheel that begins to lose traction to the wheel on the opposite side of the vehicle (on the same axle).

TC is most active at low speeds.

This is one of DSTC's permanent functions and cannot be switched off.

Active Yaw Control (AYC) This function helps maintain directional stability, for example when cornering, by braking one or more of the wheels if the vehicle shows a tendency to skid or slide laterally.

This is one of DSTC's permanent functions and cannot be switched off.

Spin control (SC) The spin control function is designed to help prevent the drive wheels from spinning while the vehicle is accelerating.

Under certain circumstances, such as when driving with snow chains, or driving in deep snow or loose sand, it may be advisable to temporarily switch off this function for maximum tractive force.

WARNING

The car's handling and stability characteristics will be altered if the spin control function has been disabled.

Operation

Temporarily switching off Spin control 1. Turn the thumbwheel

until the DSTC menu is shown.

2. Hold down the RESET button to toggle between DSTC SPIN CONTROL ON or OFF.

Active chassis system-Four C

Active chassis (Four C)-option

Active chassis, Four-C (Continuously Controlled Chassis Concept), regulates the characteristics of the shock absorbers so that the car's driving characteristics can be adjusted. There are three settings: Comfort, Sport and Advanced.

Comfort The Comfort mode chassis setting offers the greatest amount of shock absorption and the softest ride. This mode is recommended for long-distance driving, or when driving in slippery conditions. The indicator light in the button will be on when this mode is selected.

Sport In this mode, shock absorption is stiffer to reduce the vehicle's body sway during cornering and to provide more

immediate steering response. The indicator light in the button will be on to indicate that Sport mode has been selected.

Advanced In this mode, movement of the shock absorbers is minimal and body sway in curves or when cornering is sharply reduced.

Operation

Use the buttons in the center console to change setting. The setting in use when the engine is switched off is activated the next time the engine is started.

Speed-dependent steering force (option)

Steering force increases with the speed of the vehicle to give the driver enhanced sensitivity. At low speed the vehicle is easy to steer in order to facilitate parking, etc.

Steering force can be changed under Car settings page 115 .

Adaptive Cruise Control-ACC

Introduction

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is an optional system designed to assist the driver by maintaining a set speed or a set distance to the vehicle ahead. It is primarily intended for use on long straight roads in steady traffic, such as on highways and other main roads.

WARNING

Do not use the adaptive cruise control system in demanding driving conditions such as city traffic, winding roads,

at intersections, on slippery surfaces, in poor visibility, heavy rain, etc.

Maintenance of cruise control components must only be performed by an authorized Volvo workshop.

WARNING

Adaptive cruise control cannot cover all driving situations and traffic, weather and road conditions. The Function

section provides information about limitations that the driver must be aware of before using the adaptive cruise control.

This system is designed to be a supplementary driving aid. It is not, however, intended to replace the driver's

attention and judgement. The driver is responsible for maintaining a safe distance and speed and must intervene if adaptive cruise control does not maintain a suitable speed or suitable distance.

Function

Warning light, braking by driver required

Controls

Radar sensor in front grille

Adaptive cruise control consists of:

A cruise control system to maintain a set speed A system to maintain a set distance to the vehicle ahead (expressed as a time interval. For example, you can choose

to remain approximately 2 seconds behind the vehicle ahead).

145 04 Comfort and driving pleasure

Adaptive Cruise Control-ACC

WARNING

Adaptive cruise control is not a collision avoidance system. The driver is always responsible for applying the

brakes if the system does not detect another vehicle.

Adaptive cruise control does not react to slow moving or stationary vehicles.

The distance to the vehicle ahead (in the same lane) is measured by a radar sensor. Your vehicle's speed is regulated by acceleration and braking. The brakes may emit a sound when they are being modulated by the adaptive cruise control system. This is normal.

WARNING

The brake pedal moves when the adaptive cruise control system modulates the brakes. Do not rest your foot under the brake pedal.

The adaptive cruise control system is designed to follow the vehicle ahead of you in the same lane, at a set time interval.

If the radar sensor has not detected a vehicle ahead, the system will then attempt to maintain the set speed. This is also the case if the speed of the vehicle ahead exceeds the speed that you have set.

The adaptive cruise control system is designed to smoothly regulate speed. However, the driver must apply the brakes in situations that require immediate braking. This applies when there are great differences in speed between vehicles, or if the vehicle ahead brakes suddenly.

WARNING

Due to limitations in the radar sensor, braking may occur unexpectedly or not at all, see page 146.

Adaptive cruise control can only be activated at speeds above 20 mph (30 km/h). If speed falls below 20 mph (30
km/h) or if engine speed (rpm) becomes too low, adaptive cruise control disengages and will no longer modulate the brakes. In situations when adaptive cruise control cannot be activated Cruise Control Unavailable is shown in the display, see page 149.

WARNING

When adaptive cruise control disengages, the brakes will not be modulated automatically. The driver must assume full control over the vehicle.

Warning light-driver braking required Adaptive cruise control has a braking capacity that is equivalent to approximately 30% of the vehicle's total braking capacity. In situations requiring more brake force than ACC can provide, if the driver does not apply the brakes, an audible signal will sound and a red warning light will illuminate in the windshield.

 NOTE

The red warning light may be difficult to see in strong sunlight or when sunglasses are being worn.

WARNING

Cruise control only warns of vehicles detected by the radar sensor, see page 146. In some cases there may be no warning or the warning may be delayed. The driver should always apply the brakes when necessary.

Automatic deactivation Adaptive cruise control is linked to other systems such as the stability and traction control system (DSTC). If any of these systems are not functioning properly, adaptive cruise control is automatically deactivated.

In the event of automatic deactivation a signal will sound and the message Cruise Control Canceled is shown in the display. The

146 04 Comfort and driving pleasure

Adaptive Cruise Control-ACC

driver must then intervene and adapt the vehicle's speed to the surrounding traffic. Automatic deactivation may be caused if:

the vehicle's speed falls below 20 mph (30 km/h) the wheels lose traction or if the anti-lock brake system is activated brake temperature is high engine speed (rpm) is too low the radar sensor is obstructed by, for example, wet snow or rain.

The radar sensor and its limitations

The radar sensor is used both by the adaptive cruise control and the collision warning system. It is designed to detect vehicles or larger vehicles driving in the same direction as your vehicle. The radar sensor does not detect pedestrians, or oncoming, slow or stationary vehicles and objects. Warnings are not given and the brakes are not applied in such cases.

WARNING

Accessories or other objects must not be installed in front of the grille.

Modification of the radar sensor could make its use illegal.

The radar sensor's capacity to detect vehicles ahead is impeded:

if the radar sensor is obstructed and cannot detect other vehicles, for example in heavy rain, or if snow or other

objects are obscuring the radar sensor.

NOTE

Keep the area in front of the radar sensor clean.

 if the speed of vehicles ahead is significantly different from your own speed.

The radar sensor has a limited field of vision. In some situations it may detect a vehicle other than the one expected or not detect vehicles at all.

In certain situations, the radar sensor cannot detect vehicles at close quarters, for example a vehicle that suddenly

enters the lanes between your vehicle and the one that the system has already detected.

Small vehicles, such as motorcycles, or vehicles not driving in the center of the lane may remain undetected.

Warnings are only provided when the risk of collision is high. The Function section provides information about

limitations that the driver must be aware of before use.

The collision warning system's brake support can only reduce the speed at which a collision occurs if the driver

WARNING

Never wait for a collision warning. This system is designed to be a supplementary driving aid. It is not, however, intended to replace the driver's attention and judgement. The driver is responsible for maintaining a safe distance and speed, even when the collision warning system is in use.

Maintenance of the collision warning system components must only be performed by a trained and qualified

Volvo technician.

Function

Visual warning signal, collision risk

Sensor

The radar sensor detects vehicles ahead that are moving in the same direction as your vehicle. In the event of a collision risk, you will be alerted by a red warning light and an audible warning signal.

If the risk of collision increases after the warning, brake support is activated.

The brake support prepares the brake system for rapid braking and the brakes are applied gently, which may be noticeable. If the brake pedal is depressed quickly then braking is implemented with full brake function, even if the force on the pedal is light.

151 04 Comfort and driving pleasure

Collision warning system (option)

The collision warning system is active at speeds above approximately 5 mph (7 km/h).

Limitations The visual warning signal may be difficult to see in strong sunlight or when sunglasses are being worn. For this reason always activate the audible warning signal in such conditions.

NOTE

The visual warning signal may be temporarily disengaged in the event of high passenger compartment temperature due to strong sunlight, etc. If this occurs, the audible warning signal will be used, even if it has been deactivated in the menu system.

Warnings may not appear if the distance to the vehicle ahead is very small or if steering wheel and pedal movements are large, for example, due to a very active driving style.

The collision warning system uses the same radar sensors as adaptive cruise control. For more information on the radar sensor and its limitations, see page 146.

WARNING

In certain situations, the system cannot provide warnings, the warning may be delayed, or false warnings may be

given if traffic conditions make it impossible for the radar sensor to detect the vehicle ahead.

If no warning is given, no brake support is provided.

 A delayed warning means that brake support will also be delayed.

The false warnings may be in the form of both audio and visual signals.

NOTE

The number of false warnings can be limited by reducing the warning distance. See the section "Set warning distance."

Operation

Some settings are controlled from the center console via a menu system. For information on how the menu system is used, see page 114.

Park assist (option)

Introduction

The park assist system(s) are designed to assist you when driving into parking spaces, garages, etc. They utilize ultrasound sensors located in the bumpers to measure the distance to a vehicle or other object, or a person who may be close to the front or rear of the vehicle.

WARNING

These systems are designed to be a supplementary aid when parking the vehicle. They are not, however, intended to replace the driver's attention and judgement.

Function The system is activated automatically when the vehicle is started. The indicator light in the button in the center console illuminates. The text Park Assist ON is shown in the center console display if reverse gear is selected or if the front sensors detect an object.

The front park assist system is active from the time the engine is started until the vehicle exceeds a speed of

approximately 10 mph (15 km/h). It is also active when the vehicle is backing up.

Rear park assist is active when the engine is running and reverse gear has been selected.

An intermittent audio signal becomes audible when your vehicle approaches an object. The frequency of the signal increases as you come closer to the object in front of or behind the vehicle. If the volume of another audio source from the audio system is high, this will be automatically lowered.

The tone becomes constant at a distance of approximately 1 ft (30 cm). If there are objects within this distance both behind and in front of the vehicle, the signal alternates between front and rear speakers.

Rear park assist

The distance monitored behind the vehicle is approximately 5 ft (1.5 m). The signal comes from the rear speakers.

The system must be deactivated when towing a trailer, carrying bicycles in a rear-mounted carrier, etc, which could trigger the rear park assist system's sensors.

NOTE

Rear park assist is deactivated automatically when towing a trailer if Volvo genuine trailer wiring is used.

Front park assist

The distance monitored in front of the vehicle is approximately 2.5 ft (0.8 m). The signal comes from the front speakers.

It may not be possible to combine auxiliary headlights and front park assist since these lights could trigger the system's sensors.

Faults in the system If the information symbol illuminates and Park Assist syst Service required is shown on the information display, this indicates that the system is not functioning properly and has been disengaged. Consult a Volvo retailer or authorized Volvo service technician.

CAUTION

In certain circumstances, the park assist system may give unexpected warning signals that can be caused by external sound sources that use the same ultrasound frequencies as the system. This may include such things as the horns of other vehicles, wet tires on asphalt, pneumatic brakes, motorcycle exhaust pipes, etc. This does not indicate a fault in the system.

Activating/deactivating

Press the Park assist button on the center console to temporarily deactivate the system(s). The indicator light in the button will go out when the system(s) have been deactivated.

If the vehicle is equipped with front and rear park assist, both systems will be deactivated by pressing the button.

Park assist will be automatically reactivated the next time the engine is started, or if the button is pressed (the indicator light in the button will illuminate).

NOTE

Front park assist is disengaged automatically when the parking brake is applied.

Cleaning the sensors

The sensors must be cleaned regularly to ensure that they work properly. Clean them with water and a suitable car washing detergent.

Ice and snow covering the sensors may cause incorrect warning signals.

Blind Spot Information System (option)

Introduction

BLIS camera

Indicator light

BLIS symbol

The Blind Spot Information System (BLIS) is an information system that indicates the presence of another vehicle moving in the same direction as your vehicle in the sideview mirror's "blind area."

WARNING

BLIS is an information system, NOT a warning or safety system. BLIS does not eliminate the need for you to visually confirm the conditions around you, and the need for you to

turn your head and shoulders to make sure that you can safely change lanes.

As the driver, you have full responsibility for changing lanes in a safe manner.

The system is based on digital camera technology. The cameras

are located beneath the side-view mirrors.

When one (or both) of the cameras have detected a vehicle in the blind area (up to approximately 10 ft. (3 meters) from the side of your vehicle, and up to approximately 31 ft. (9.5 meters) behind the side-view mirror), see the illustration in the right column, the indicator light in the door panel alert the driver of the vehicle in the blind area.

illuminates. The light will glow continuously to

NOTE

The door panel indicator light illuminates on the side of the vehicle where the system has detected another vehicle. If your vehicle is passed on both sides at the same time, both lights will illuminate.

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 on page 157) will appear in the information display in the instrument panel. If this occurs, clean the camera lenses. If necessary, the system can be temporarily switched off (for instructions, see page 157).

When does BLIS function

The system functions when your vehicle is moving at speeds above 6 mph (10 km/h).

When you pass another vehicle: The system reacts when you pass another vehicle at a speed of up to 6 mph (10 km/h) faster than that vehicle.

When you are passed by another vehicle: The system reacts if your vehicle is passed by another vehicle at a speed of up to 43 mph (70 km/h) faster than your vehicle.

WARNING

BLIS does not function in sharp curves. BLIS does not function when your vehicle is backing up. If you are towing a wide trailer, this may prevent the BLIS cameras from detecting other vehicles in adjacent

lanes.

How BLIS functions in daylight and darkness

Daylight BLIS reacts to the shape of surrounding vehicles. The system is designed to help detect 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 headlights on. This means, for example, that the system will not detect a trailer without headlights 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 function of the BLIS cameras may be affected by intense light, or when driving at night in areas where there are no external sources of light (e.g., street lights, other vehicles, etc.). In such cases, the system may react as if the

cameras were obscured.

page 157 for instructions.

In both of the above mentioned conditions, a message will appear in the information display. When driving in such conditions, the system's function will be limited or it may be temporarily switched off. See

When the message is no longer displayed, BLIS will return to normal function. The BLIS cameras have the same limitation as the human eye. In other words, their "vision is impaired" by

adverse weather conditions such as heavy snowfall, dense fog, etc.

Blind Spot Information System (option)

Cleaning the BLIS camera lenses In order to function optimally, the BLIS camera lenses must be kept clean. They can be wiped clean with a soft cloth or wet sponge.

CAUTION

Clean the lenses carefully to avoid scratching. The lenses are electrically heated to help melt ice or snow. If necessary, gently brush away snow from the lenses.

Switching BLIS on and off

BLIS is automatically activated when the ignition is switched on. The indicator lights will provide confirmation by flashing 3 times.

The system can be switched off by pressing the BLIS button in the center console (see the illustration above). The

indicator light in the button goes out when the system is switched off, and a text message is displayed.

BLIS can be switched on again by pressing the button. The indicator light in the button will illuminate and a new

text message will be displayed. Press the READ button (see age 116) to erase the message.
