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 impossible
to provide warnings. BLIS cannot detect haz-
ards 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' com-
ponents or repainting the bumpers must only
be performed by a workshop - an authorised
Volvo workshop is recommended.

CTA
*
The BLIS function CTA (Cross Traffic Alert) is a
driver aid intended to warn about crossing traffic
when the car is reversing. CTA is a supplement
to BLIS (p. 240).
Activate/deactivate CTA
CTA is activated when the engine is started. This
is confirmed by the indicator lamps for BLIS in
the door panels flashing once.
On/Off for parking assistance and CTA sensors.
The CTA function can be deactivated/activated
separately with the Parking assistance (p. 255)
On/Off button. The BLIS lamps flash once on
reactivation.
However, the BLIS function remains activated
after the CTA has been deactivated.
WARNING
CTA is a supplementary aid and does not
work in all situations.
CTA is no substitute for a safe driving style
and the use of rearview and door mirrors.
CTA can never replace the driver's responsi-
bility and attention - it is always the driver's
responsibility to reverse in a safe manner.
When CTA operates
Principle for CTA.
CTA supplements the BLIS function by being
able to see crossing traffic from the side during
reversing, such as when reversing out of a park-
ing space.
CTA is primarily designed to detect vehicles. In
favourable conditions, it may also be able to
