Over Half a Decade of Watching Your Blind Spot


Time flies when you're savings lives. In 2007, Volvo introduced a revolutionary safety feature called BLIS, which appropriately stands for Blind Spot Information System. The system warns you on either the left or right side (or both sides!) with a subtle amber light if an object is in your blind spot. Needless to say, this active safety feature has prevented countless accidents.




As traffic continues to increase it is very important to have an extra "set of eyes" looking out for you on the road. If only such technology was available on humans...



The next generation of BLIS technology is right around the corner, providing an even greater warning system for the Volvo driver who wants to ensure they don't end up too close to other vehicles on the road. As Volvo safety technology evolves it's hard to imagine what new and unique features will be available years from now.

Here is your Volvo Safety...

Image
What you see above is the result of an accident between a tractor trailer, a Volvo XC60...and another tractor trailer. If you think the end result is devastating, just be aware...the driver and passenger of the Volvo XC60 walked away from this accident with only minor injuries. This accident happened in Brussels a couple of days ago, here is some of the report from their newspaper: A car containing a mother and daughter crashed into the back of a truck. The vehicle disappeared completely under the rear end of the heavy truck. To make matters worse, a heavy truck crashed into the Volvo XC60 from behind. The result was a lot of scrap. The emergency services had to rescue the two women from the car, who were trapped for more than one hour. The fire brigade had to cut off the roof of the vehicle before being able to set them free. The two ladies must have had a guardian angel as they got off with only minor injuries. They were taken to the hospital for a routine check up So wh

How do I get one of those red plates?!

Image
It's a question we get every now and then. "How do I get one of those red plates?"...those red plates you see on various Volvos in Central Pennsylvania are actually Swedish Tourist plates. And the way to get them is to purchase your next new Volvo from Lehman Volvo through the Overseas Delivery program. In addition to being the BEST way to purchase your new Volvo, the Overseas Delivery program provides you with complimentary airfare for 2 to Sweden, a complimentary hotel stay and yes...that little red plate. Its another benefit to the program...Volvo provides you with complimentary European registration and Insuraunce for up to 14 days. And with that, your vehicle becomes a tourist vehicle. Once it reaches the US, Volvo makes sure that your red tag stays with the car, so you have a very cool and unique souvenier to remind you of the time you drove your Volvo in Sweden.
