330 Different time intervals to the vehicle ahead can be selectedand are shown in the instru-ment panel as 1–5 horizontalbars. The greater the number ofbars, the longer the time inter-val.
One bar between the vehicles represents a timeinterval of approximately 1 second; 5 bars isapproximately 3 seconds. The same symbol appears if Adaptive Cruise Control is activated.
NOTE
• The greater the vehicles' speed, the greater the
distance between them for a
set time interval.
• The set time interval is also used by Adaptive Cruise Control
*.
• Only use time intervals permitted by local traffic regulations.

Distance Alert * limitations
Distance Alert uses the same radar sensor as Adaptive Cruise Control * and has several limita-
tions.
WARNING
• The radar sensor has a limited field of vision. In some situations it may detect avehicle later than expected or not detectother vehicles at all.
• The radar sensor cannot cover all drivingsituations and traffic, weather and roadconditions.
• The driver is responsible for maintaining asafe distance and speed and must inter-vene if the various driver support systemsdo not maintain a suitable speed or suita-ble distance to the vehicle ahead.
• Maintenance of radar sensor componentsmay only be performed by a trained andqualified Volvo technician.
• Strong sunlight, reflections from the roadsurface, strong lighting contrasts or usingsunglasses may make the warning light inthe windshield difficult to see.
For additional information, see also the article "Radar sensor limitations."

Blind Spot Information (BLIS) *
Blind Spot Information is a system designed to alert the driver to the presence of other vehiclesmoving in the same direction as your vehicle onroads with several lanes.
Blind Spot Information is a driving aid intended to:
• detect other vehicles in your door mirrors' "blind area"
• detect vehicles that are about to pass yourvehicle or are approaching your vehiclequickly from behind in the left and/or rightlanes
WARNING
•
Blind Spot Information is an information system, NOT a warning or safety systemand does not function in all situations.
• Blind Spot Information does not eliminatethe need for you to visually confirm theconditions around you, and the need foryou to turn your head and shoulders tomake sure that you can safely changelanes or back up.
• As the driver, you have full responsibilityfor changing lanes/backing up in a safemanner.

Overview
Blind Spot Information indicators
Indicator light
Blind Spot Information symbol
The indicator light illuminates on the side of the vehicle where the system has detected anothervehicle. If your vehicle is passed on both sides atthe same time, both lights will illuminate.
Principle for Blind Spot Information: Zone 1. Blind area, Zone 2. Area for approaching/passing vehicles
Blind Spot Information functions when your vehi- cle is moving at speeds above approx. 6 mph(10 km/h). Blind Spot Information is designed to react to:
• vehicles that are passing your vehicle
• other vehicles that are rapidly approaching your vehicle
When Blind Spot Information detects a vehicle in zone 1 or a fast-approaching vehicle in zone 2,the indicator light in the respective door mirrorwill glow steadily. If the driver then uses the turn signal on the side on which the warning is given, the indicator lightwill begin flashing and become brighter.
WARNING
• Blind Spot Information does not function in sharp curves.
• Blind Spot Information does not functionwhen your vehicle is backing up.

STARTING AND DRIVING
372
Battery drain Your vehicle's electrical functions drain the bat- tery to varying extents.
Avoid using ignition mode II as much as posssi-
ble, or electrical functions that require a great deal of electrical current when the engine is notrunning. Using ignition mode I whenever possible con-
sumes less electrical current. Functions that require a great deal of electrical current include:
• the climate system blower
• headlights
• wipers
• infotainment system (especially at high vol- ume).
If the battery's charge level is low, a text message will appear in the instrument panel. The vehicle'senergy-saving function will then turn off orreduce certain functions that are currently con-suming electrical current. If the battery needs to be recharged, start the engine and let it idle for at least 15 minutes ordrive the vehicle (driving charges the batteryfaster than letting the engine idle).

CAUTION
•Before driving into an automatic car wash, turn off the optional rain sensor toavoid damaging the windshield wipers.
• Make sure that side view mirrors, auxiliarylamps, etc, are secure, and that anyantenna(s) are retracted or removed. Oth-erwise there is risk of the machine dis-lodging them.
• Chromed wheels:
Clean chrome-plated
wheels using the same detergents usedfor the body of the vehicle. Aggressivewheel-cleaning agents can permanentlystain chrome-plated wheels.
WARNING
• When the vehicle is driven immediately after being washed, apply the brakes,including the parking brake, several timesin order to remove any moisture from thebrake linings.
• Engine cleaning agents should not beused when the engine is warm. This con-stitutes a fire risk.
Exterior componentsVolvo recommends the use of special cleaning products, available at your Volvo retailer, forcleaning colored plastic, rubber, or ornamentalcomponents such as chromed strips on the exte- rior of your vehicle. The instructions for usingthese products should be followed carefully. Sol-vents or stain removers should not be used.
CAUTION
•
Avoid waxing or polishing plastic or rub- ber components
• Polishing chromed strips can wear awayor damage the surface
• Polishes containing abrasive substancesshould not be used
