348 BLIS*
The BLIS 78
function is designed to help provide
assistance in heavy traffic with several lanes
moving in the same direction by helping the
driver to detect the presence of vehicles in the
"blind spot" area behind and to the side of the
vehicle.
BLIS is a driver support system designed to alert
the driver of:
• vehicles in your "blind spot"
• vehicles approaching rapidly in adjacent
lanes. Location of BLIS indicator light.

Blind spot zone
Rapidly approaching vehicle zone.
The BLIS function is active at speeds
above 10 km/h (6 mph).
The system is designed to react to: • vehicles passing your vehicle
• vehicles that are rapidly approaching your
vehicle from behind.
When BLIS

detects a vehicle in zone 1 or a rap-
idly approaching vehicle in zone 2, an indicator
light will illuminate in the relevant rearview mirror
and glow steadily. If the driver then uses the turn

given, the indicator light will become brighter and
begin flashing.
NOTE
The light illuminates on the side of the vehicle
where the system has detected the vehicle. If
the vehicle is passed on both sides simulta-
neously, both lights come on.
WARNING
•
The BLIS function is supplementary driver
support intended to facilitate driving and
help make it safer – it cannot handle all
situations in all traffic, weather and road
conditions.
• The responsibility for changing lanes
safely and using good judgment always
rests with the driver.
• BLIS is not a substitute for the driver's
attention and judgment. The driver is
always responsible for ensuring the vehi-
cle is driven in a safe manner, at the
appropriate speed, with an appropriate
distance to other vehicles, and in accord-
ance with current traffic rules and regula-
tions.

are located in the rearview mirrors.
The side cameras can show views along each
side of the vehicle.
Related information
• Park Assist Camera* (p. 386) Park Assist Camera trajectory lines
The Park Assist Camera uses trajectory lines
and fields on the screen to indicate the vehicle's
position in relation to its immediate surround-
ings. Example
121
of trajectory lines.
The trajectory lines show the anticipated trajec-
tory for the vehicle's outermost dimensions based
on the current position of the steering wheel to help simplify parallel parking, backing into tight
spaces or attaching a trailer.
The lines on the screen are projected as if they
were painted lines on the ground behind the
vehicle and are directly affected by the way in
which the steering wheel is turned. This enables
the driver to see path the vehicle will take, even if
he/she turns the steering wheel.
These lines also indicate the outermost limits that
any object (towbar, rearview mirrors, corners of
the body, etc.) extends out from the vehicle.
NOTE
•
When reversing with a trailer that is not
electrically connected to the vehicle, the
screen guide lines show the path the
vehicle will take – not the trailer.
• The screen does not show guide lines
when a trailer is electrically connected to
the vehicle's electrical system.
• Guide lines are not shown when zooming
in. 120

Blind sectors There are "blind" sectors between the cameras' fields of
vision.
With 360° view selected, objects/obstacles may
not be detected if they are located in the "joints"
where the edges of the individual camera views
meet.
WARNING
Even if it seems as though only a fairly small
section of the screen image is obstructed, this
may mean that a relatively large sector is hid-
den and obstacles there may not be detected
until they are very near the vehicle.
Defective cameraIf a camera sector is dark and
contains this symbol, this indi-
cates that the camera is not
functioning properly.
See the following illustration for
an example. The vehicle's left-side camera is malfunctioning.
Dark camera sector
A dark camera sector may also be displayed in
the following situations, but without the defective
camera symbol:
• a door is open
• the tailgate is open
• a rearview mirror is folded in
Lighting conditionsThe camera image is automatically adjusted
according to the current lighting conditions. This means that the brightness and quality of the
image may vary slightly. Poor lighting conditions
may result in reduced image quality.

•Leveling control* and suspension (p. 450)
• Loading recommendations (p. 586) Low Speed Control
The low-speed function, Low Speed Control
(LSC), facilitates and improves control and trac-
tion on rough roads and slippery surfaces, e.g.
when towing a trailer on grass or up boat ramps.
The function is included in the Off Road drive
mode.
Low Speed Control is designed for driving on
rough roads and when towing trailers at low
speeds, up to approximately 40 km/h (25 mph).
When driving at low speeds, LSC prioritizes low
gears and all-wheel drive to help avoid wheel spin
and improve traction on all wheels. The accelera-
tor pedal will be less responsive to improve trac-
tion and speed control at low speeds.
The function is activated together with Hill
Descent Control (HDC), which makes it possible
to control speed going down steep hills using the
accelerator pedal and reduces the need to use
the brake pedal. The system makes it possible to
maintain a low and uniform speed when driving
down steep hills.

Driving
• Choose the Pure drive mode to help mini-
mize electric power consumption.
• Maintain a steady speed and a generous fol-
lowing distance to traffic ahead to minimize
braking. This drive mode has the lowest
power consumption.
• Balance energy requirements using the
accelerator pedal. Use the indicator on the
instrument panel to see available electric
power and avoid starting the combustion
engine unnecessarily. The electric motor is
more effective than the combustion engine,
especially at low speeds.
• When braking is necessary, brake gently
using the brake pedal. This will recharge the
hybrid battery. A regenerative function is
integrated in the brake pedal and can be
augmented by the electric motor's braking
capacity when the gear selector is in mode
B.
• Higher speeds increase energy consumption
- air resistance increases with speed.
• Activate the
Hold function in the Function
view at high speeds when traveling farther
than is possible using the hybrid battery's
capacity.
• Whenever possible, avoid using the Charge
function to charge the hybrid battery. Charg-
ing the battery using the combustion engine increases fuel consumption and carbon diox-
ide emissions.
• In a cold climate, reduce heating of the wind-
shield/rear window, mirrors, seats and the
steering wheel.
• Maintain the correct pressure in the tires and
check pressure regularly.
• The type of tires used could affect energy
consumption - consult a retailer for advice on
suitable tires.
• Remove unnecessary items from the vehicle
- the heavier the load, the higher the fuel
consumption.
• Roof loads increase air resistance and
increase fuel consumption. Remove roof
boxes, ski racks, etc. that are not in use.
• Avoid driving with the windows open.
• Do not keep the vehicle still on an upward
gradient by using the accelerator pedal. Use
the brakes instead.

When using the electric motor, Volvo Twin
Engine provides a combination of good fuel
economy, low emissions and high performance.
For energy-efficient driving:
• Select the Pure drive mode to help maximize
driving range using only the electric motor.
• Balance energy requirements using the
accelerator pedal. Use the indicator on the
instrument panel's hybrid gauge to see avail-
able electric power and avoid starting the
combustion engine unnecessarily.
• When braking is necessary, brake gently
using the brake pedal. This will recharge the
hybrid battery.
• Activate the
Hold function in the Function
view at high speeds when traveling farther
than is possible using the hybrid battery's
capacity.
• Reduce current consumption in the passen-
ger compartment by reducing e.g. fan speed,
electric heating, or air conditioning use.
Also follow the general economical driving advice
regarding speed, tires and load to maximize
range.

The cargo compartment capacity can be consid-
erably increased by folding down the backrests in
the second and third rows* of seats. To make
loading and unloading easier, the rear section of
the vehicle can be raised and lowered using the
level control function*. Use the load anchoring
eyelets or grocery bag holders to help secure
objects in place, and the retractable cargo com-
partment cover* to help conceal objects in the
cargo compartment.
If the vehicle is equipped with a temporary spare
tire, this is secured to the cargo compartment
floor under the cover. The towing eyelet and tire
sealing system are located under the cargo com-
partment floor.

There are a number of things to consider when
carrying loads in or on the vehicle. Load-carrying capacity is determined by the vehi-
cle's curb weight. The total weight of all passen-
gers and any installed accessories reduces the
vehicle's load-carrying capacity by the corres-
ponding amount.
WARNING The vehicle's driving characteristics change
depending on the weight and position of the
load.
Loading in the trunk and cargo
compartment
•
Position objects so they are pressing against
the rear seat backrests.
• Distribute the load evenly.
• Heavy objects should be positioned as low
as possible. Avoid placing heavy objects on
folded-down seat backrests.
• Cover sharp corners with a soft cloth or simi-
lar to help prevent damage to the upholstery.
• Use the load anchoring eyelets and tension-
ing straps or similar to secure all objects.
