NOTE If the sensors are obstructed by e.g., dirt, snow, or ice, this could result in false warning signals from the park assist system. 179 04 Comfort and driving pleasure 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." CAUTION The BLIS system should only be repaired by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician. 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, the indicator light in the door panel illuminates. The light will glow continuously to alert the driver of the vehicle in the blind area. NOTE
