BLIS.
When BLIS is deactivated/reactivated, the indicator lights will go out/illuminate (the indi-cators will also flash once when the functionis reactivated) and a message will appear inthe instrument panel. To erase the message: •
Press the
OK button on the left steering
wheel lever
or
• Wait for approx. 5 seconds for the mes- sage to disappear
When does BLIS function
Zone 1. Blind area, Zone 2. Area for passing vehicles
The system functions when your vehicle is moving at speeds above 6 mph (10 km/h). BLIS is designed to react to:
• Other vehicles in your door mirrors' "blind area"
• Vehicles that are passing your vehicle When BLIS detects a vehicle in zone 1 or a passing vehicle in zone 2, the indicator light inthe door panel will glow steadily. If the driverthen uses the turn signal on the side on whichthe warning is given, the indicator light willflash and become brighter.
WARNING
•
BLIS does not function in sharp curves.
• BLIS does not function when yourvehicle is backing up.
Cross Traffic Alert (CTA)
On vehicles equipped with the optional Park assist system (see page 192), Cross TrafficAlert (CTA) can be deactivated/reactivated bypressing the Park assist button on the centerconsole. The BLIS indicator lights on the frontdoors will flash when CTA is reactivated bypressing the button.

When does CTA function
How CTA works
CTA supplements BLIS by warning the driver of crossing traffic behind your vehicle, for example, when backing out of a parkingspace. It is primarily designed to detect another vehi- cle but in certain cases may also detectpedestrians or smaller objects such as bicy-cles. CTA is only activated when the vehicle is backing up and is activated automaticallywhen the gear selector is put in reverse.
• An audible signal indicates that CTA has detected something that is approachingfrom the side. The signal will come fromeither the left or right audio systemspeakers, depending on which the side ofyour vehicle the approaching vehicle/object has been detected.
• CTA also provides a warning by illuminat-ing the BLIS indicator lights.
• An icon will also illuminate in the Parkassist graphic on the center console dis-play.
LimitationsCTA has limitations in certain situations, for example, the CTA sensors cannot "see"through other parked vehicles or obstruc-tions. The following are several examples where CTA's "field of vision" may initially be limited and approaching vehicles cannot be detecteduntil they are too close:

Introduction
Air conditioningThe vehicle is equipped with Electronic Cli- mate Control (ECC). The climate control sys-tem cools, heats or dehumidifies the air in thepassenger compartment.
NOTE
• The air conditioning can be switched off, but to ensure the best possible cli-mate comfort in the passenger com-partment and to prevent the windowsfrom misting, it should always be on.
• In warm weather, a small amount ofwater may accumulate under the carwhen it has been parked. This water iscondensation from the A/C systemand is normal.
Sensor location
•
The sunlight sensor is located on the top side of the dashboard.
NOTE
The sunlight sensor monitors which side of the car that is most exposed to sunlight.This can mean that the temperature maydiffer between the right and left-side airvents, even if the temperatures set for bothsides of the passenger compartment arethe same.
•The temperature sensor for the passen- ger compartment is located below the cli-mate control panel.
• The outside (ambient) temperature sensoris located on the door mirror.
• The humidity sensor* is located in theinterior rearview mirror.
NOTE
Do not cover or block the sensors with clothing or other objects.
Side windows and laminated panoramic roof
To ensure that the air conditioning works optimally, the side windows, and the lamina-ted panoramic roof should be closed.
Fog on the inside of the windowsThe defroster function should be used toremove fog or mist from the inside of the win-dows. Keeping the windows clean with a commercially available window washingspray will also help prevent fogging or mist-ing.
Temporary shut-off of the air
conditioning
The air conditioning is momentarily disen-gaged during full acceleration or when drivinguphill with a trailer. This may result in a tem-porary increase in cabin temperature.
Ice and snowAlways keep the air intake grille at the base ofthe windshield free of snow.
Climate system maintenanceSpecial tools and equipment are required tomaintain and carry out repairs on the climatesystem. Work of this type should only bedone by a trained and qualified Volvo servicetechnician.
RefrigerantVolvo cares about the environment. The airconditioning system in your car contains aCFC-free refrigerant – R134a. This substancewill not deplete the ozone layer. See page386 for the amount of refrigerant in the A/Csystem. The system uses PAG oil.

A/C – ON/OFFWhen the indicator light in the button is on, the air con-ditioning is controlled auto-matically. This cools/heatsand dehumidifies the incom-ing air. When the indicatorlight in the button is off, the
air conditioning is disengaged. Other func-tions are still controlled automatically. Whenmaximum defroster is selected, the air condi-tioning system is set for maximum blowerspeed and dehumidifies the cabin as quicklyas possible.Max. defroster and electrically heated windshield*

NOTE
• Triangular areas at the far sides of the windshield are not heated electricallyand will take slightly longer todefrost/de-ice.
• The heated windshield may affect theperformance/range of e.g., transpond-ers used to automatically pay highwaytolls or other communication equip-ment.
The following occurs when the defroster/ windshield heating functions have been acti-vated: •
Blower speed increases automatically and the air conditioning will switch on (ifnot already on and if the passenger com-partment blower is not turned off) todehumidify the air in the passenger com-partment. Air conditioning can beswitched off by pressing the
AC button.
• Recirculation will not function whiledefrost is engaged.
The climate system will return to its previous settings when the defroster/windshield heat-ing function is switched off. See also page 113 for additional information.
Recirculation/air quality system
RecirculationThis function can be used to shut out exhaust fumes,smoke, etc., from the pas-senger compartment. The airin the passenger compart-ment is then recirculated,i.e., no air from outside the
car is taken into the car when this function isactivated. The indicator light in the button willilluminate when recirculation is selected. If the air in the car recirculates for too long, there is a risk of condensation forming on theinsides of the windows, especially in winter.
TimerThe timer function minimizes the risk of fog- ging, or stale air when the recirculation func-tion is selected by automatically switching offthe function after a certain length of time,depending on the ambient temperature. Acti-vate/deactivate the function under
Climate
settings
Recirculation timer. See page
209 for a description of the menu system.
NOTE
When Defroster is selected, recirculation is always deactivated.
Interior Air Quality System–IAQS*This system consists of a multifilter and an air quality sensor. The filter helps remove gasesand particles from the incoming air, therebyreducing the amounts of odors and contami-nants entering the vehicle. The air quality sen-sor detects increased levels of contaminantsin the outside air. When the air quality sensordetects contaminated outside air, the airintake closes and the air inside the passengercompartment is recirculated, i.e., no outsideair enters the vehicle. The filter also cleansrecirculated passenger compartment air.When the AUTO button is depressed the air
quality sensor is always engaged. Activate or deactivate this function in
Climate
settings
Interior air quality system.
NOTE
• The air quality sensor should always be engaged in order to obtain the bestair in the passenger compartment.
• Recirculation is limited in cold weatherto avoid fogging.
• If the insides of the windows start fog-ging, disengage the air quality sensor.Use the defroster function to increaseairflow to the front, side, and rear win-dows.
