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

Contact with the sealing compound may cause skin irritation. If contact occurs, wash the affected area immediately
with soap and water.
5. Unscrew the orange cover over the bottle holder and unscrew the cap on the bottle of sealing compound.
NOTE
Do not break the seal on the bottle. This occurs automatically when the bottle is screwed into the holder.
6. Screw the bottle into the bottle holder.
WARNING
The bottle is equipped with a catch to keep it securely in place and help prevent sealing compound leakage. Once in
place, the bottle cannot be unscrewed. This must be done by a trained and qualified Volvo service technician.
7. Remove the valve cap from the tire's inflation valve and screw the tire sealing system's hose connector onto the
valve as tightly as possible by hand.

8. Connect the electrical wire to the nearest 12-volt socket in the vehicle.
9. Start the vehicle's engine.
WARNING
The vehicle's engine should be running when the tire sealing system is used to avoid battery drain. Therefore, be sure
the vehicle is parked in a well ventilated place, or outdoors, before using the system.
10. Start the tire sealing system's compressor by pressing the on/off switch to position I .
WARNING
Never stand next to the tire being inflated when the compressor is in operation.
If cracks, bubbles, etc. form on the tire, switch off the compressor immediately.
If there is visible damage to the sidewall or the rim, the tire cannot be repaired. The vehicle should not be driven if
this occurs. Contact a towing service or Volvo On Call Roadside Assistance if applicable.
NOTE
The air pressure gauge will temporarily show an increase in pressure to approximately 88 psi (6 bar) while the
sealing compound is being pumped into the tire. The pressure should return to a normal level after approximately 30
seconds.
11. Within seven minutes, inflate the tire to between 22-44 psi (1.8-3.0 bar). Switch off the compressor briefly to get a
clear reading from the pressure gauge.
