Volvo Safety: Blind Spot Information System in Albany, NY

Merge with More Confidence with the Volvo Blind Spot Monitoring System

Among the many advanced safety features available to you in the Volvo lineup is the Blind Spot Information System (BLIS). This helpful safety feature is designed to keep an eye on your blind spot to help you merge with greater confidence. Attempting to merge and finding a car in a space you thought was clear is startling at best and dangerous at worst, which is why having BLIS on your vehicle is so handy. Here is a quick overview of what BLIS is, how it works, and how it can make your drive safer.

What Is BLIS?

BLIS is an advanced driver-assist feature that uses radar sensors installed at the rear of your vehicle to scan the area behind your Volvo car. If this system detects that a vehicle is in your blind spot or rapidly approaching your vehicle, it alerts you by illuminating a warning light that flashes when a car is detected in your blind spot, heightening your awareness of other vehicles around you and helping you determine when it is safe to merge as you drive around Albany and Troy, NY.

Why Is the Volvo Blind Spot Monitor Helpful?

BLIS is a useful feature because it keeps an eye on an area around your vehicle that is otherwise difficult to see. Blind spot accidents are common, but this feature helps to reduce the number of those accidents by helping you stay aware of vehicles in your blind spot so that you can avoid them. Merging is a part of everyday driving, and the blind spot monitor helps to ensure that you can do so safely as you cruise around Schenectady and Saratoga Springs, NY.
