BLIS* (Blind Spot Information System) - operation
BLIS (Blind Spot Information System) is a function designed for providing support forthe driver when driving in dense traffic onroads with several lanes in the same direction.
Activate/deactivate BLISBLIS is activated when the engine is started.This is confirmed by the indicator lamps inthe door panels flashing once.
Button for activating/deactivating.
The BLIS function can be deactivated/acti-
vated by pressing the BLIS button on the
centre console. Some combinations of the selected equip- ment leave no vacant space for a button inthe centre console - in which case the func-tion is handled by the car's menu system (p.103) MY CAR . When BLIS is deactivated/activated the lampin the button extinguishes/illuminates and thecombined instrument panel confirms thechange with a text message. The door panelindicator lamps flash once upon activation. To extinguish the message:
• Press the left stalk switch
OK button.
or
• Wait approx. 5 seconds - the message extinguishes.
When BLIS operates
Principle for BLIS: 1. Zone in blind spot. 2. Zone for rapidly approaching vehicle.
The BLIS function is active at speeds above approx. 10 km/h. The system is designed to react when: •
the driver's vehicle is overtaken by other vehicles
• the driver's vehicle is rapidly caught upby another vehicle.
When BLIS detects a vehicle in zone 1 or a quickly approaching vehicle in zone 2, thedoor panel BLIS lamp illuminates with a con-stant glow. If the driver activates the directionindicator on the same side as the warning inthis situation then the BLIS lamp will changefrom a constant glow to flashing with a moreintense light.
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 impossi-ble to provide warnings. BLIS cannotdetect hazards if it is covered.
• Do not affix any objects, tape or labels inthe area of the sensors.
• BLIS is deactivated when a trailer is con-nected to the car's electrical system.

Adjustable steering force*
Steering force increases with the speed of the car to give the driver enhanced sensitivity.The steering is firmer and more immediate onmotorways. Steering is light and requires noextra effort when parking and at low speed. The driver can choose between three differ- ent levels of steering force for road respon-siveness or steering sensitivity. The setting ismade in the menu system
MY CAR. For a
description of the menu system, see MY CAR(p. 103). This setting is not accessible when the car is moving.
NOTE
In certain situations the power steering may become too hot and then needs to betemporarily cooled - during this time thepower steering operates with reducedpower and turning the steering wheel maythen be perceived to be slightly heavier. In parallel with the temporarily reduced steering assistance the combined instru-ment panel shows a message.

Remote start (ERS)*
Remote start (ERS – Engine Remote Start) means that the car's engine can be startedremotely using the remote control key or thePCC key. This is so that the passenger com-partment can be warmed up/cooled downbefore departure. The climate control system and audio system start with the same settings that were in usewhen the car was parked. An ERS-started engine is activated for a maximum of 15 minutes, then it is switchedoff. After two ERS-activations the enginemust be started in the normal way beforeERS can be re-used. The optional ERS function is available on most cars with automatic gearbox.
NOTE
The service life of the remote control key's battery is affected by the ERS function. Inthe event of frequent use of ERS the bat-tery should therefore be changed once peryear, see Remote control key/PCC -replacing the battery (p. 158).
NOTE
Follow local/national rules/regulations on idling.
WARNING
To remote-start the engine, the following criteria must be met:
• The car must be supervised.
• There must be no people or animals inside the car.
• The car must not be parked in aclosed, unventilated area - the exhaustgases may seriously injure humansand animals.

Starting the engine – Flexifuel
Flexifuel engines can be driven on 95 octane unleaded petrol and bioethanol E85. Theengine is started in the same way as in a pet-rol-driven car.
Engine block heater*
Electrical input to the engine block heater.
Cars intended for E85 have an electric engine block heater. Starting and driving with a pre-heated engine means significantly reducedemissions and reduced fuel consumption. Forthis reason you should aim to use the engineblock heater throughout the winter months. • In outside temperatures between +5 °C and -10 °C, the electric engineblock heater should be activated for atleast 1 hour.
• In outside temperatures between-10 °C and -20 °C, the electric engine block heater should be activated for atleast 2 hours.
• In outside temperatures lower than-20 °C, the electric engine block heatershould be activated for at least 3 hours.
WARNING
The engine block heater is powered by high voltage. Fault tracing and repair of anelectric engine block heater and its electri-cal connections must only be carried outby a workshop - an authorised Volvo work-shop is recommended.
NOTE
Points to remember for carrying reserve fuel:
• In the event of stalling due to an empty fuel tank, bioethanol E85 from areserve fuel can may make the enginedifficult to start in extreme cold. This isavoided by filling the reserve fuel canwith 95 octane petrol.
For more information on Flexifuel's bioethanol E85 fuel, see Fuel - bioethanol E85 (p. 304).
In the event of starting difficultiesIf the engine does not start at the first startattempt: •
Make further attempts to start with the START/STOP ENGINE
button.
• Check that the engine block heater hasbeen activated and, where appropriate,activate it for the time specified above.
IMPORTANT
If the engine does not start despite repea- ted start attempts, you are recommendedto contact an authorised Volvo workshop.
Fuel adaptationFlexifuel engines can be driven on both 95 octane unleaded petrol and bioethanol E85.Both fuels are filled in the common fuel tankso that any variations of mixing ratiosbetween these two fuels is possible. If the fuel tank is filled with petrol after the car has been driven on bioethanol E85 (or viceversa) then the engine may run slightlyunevenly for a time. For this reason it isimportant to allow the engine to accustomitself (adapt) to the new fuel mixture. Adaptation takes place automatically when the car is driven for a short period at an evenspeed.

IMPORTANT
After the fuel mixture in the tank has been changed an adaptation should be made bydriving at an even speed for about 15minutes.
If the battery has been discharged or discon- nected then a slightly longer period of drivingis required for the adaptation as the memoryfor the electronics has been cleared.

Jump starting with battery
If the starter battery (p. 361) is discharged then the car can be started with current fromanother battery.
When jump starting the car, the following steps are recommended to avoid short cir-cuits or other damage:
1. Insert the remote control key in key posi-
tion 0 (p. 70).
2. Check that the donor battery has a volt- age of 12 V.
3. If the donor battery is installed in another car - switch off the donor car's engine and make sure that the two cars do nottouch each other. 4. Connect one of the red jump lead's
clamps to the donor battery's positiveterminal (1).
IMPORTANT
Connect the start cable carefully to avoid short circuits with other components in theengine compartment.
5. Open the clips on the front cover of thebattery in your car and remove the cover, see Starter battery - replacement (p.363).
6. Connect the red jump lead's other clamp onto the car's positive terminal (2).
7. Connect one of the black jump lead's clamps to the donor battery's negativeterminal (3).
8. Connect the other clamp to a grounding point, e.g. right-hand engine mounting atthe top, the outer screw head (4).
9. Check that the jump lead clamps are affixed securely so that there are nosparks during the starting procedure.
10. Start the engine of the "donor car" and allow it to run a few minutes at a speedslightly higher than idleapprox. 1500 rpm.
