road signs.

DRIVER SUPPORT
The camera is located on the upper interior
section of the windshield along with the radar
sensor.
The following table shows some of the situa-
tions that can cause the message to be dis-
played, and suggested actions:
Camera/radar sensor limitations
The camera and radar sensor used by several
of the driver support functions has certain
limitations, which also affect the functions
using the camera and radar sensor. The driver
should be aware of the following limitations:
Do not place, affix or mount anything on the
inside or outside of the windshield, or in front
of or around the camera and radar sensor –
this could disrupt camera and radar-based
functions. It could cause functions to be
reduced, deactivated completely or to produce
an incorrect function response.
Camera and radar
Obstructed camera
If this symbol and the message
“Windscreen sensor Sensor
blocked, see Owner's manual” is
displayed in the instrument panel, it
means that the camera and radar sensor are
unable to detect other vehicles, cyclists,
pedestrians and large animals in front of the
vehicle and that the vehicle's camera and
radar-based functions may be obstructed.
The area marked in the illustration must be cleaned
regularly and kept free of decals, objects, solar film,
etc.
Cause
Action
The area of the windshield in front of the camera/radar sensor is
dirty or covered by ice or snow.
Clean the windshield in front of the camera/radar sensor and remove dirt, ice
and snow.
Thick fog, heavy rain or snow is blocking the radar signals or the
camera's range of visibility.
No action. Heavy precipitation may sometimes prevent the camera/radar sensor
from functioning.

Cause
Action
Water or snow is spraying/swirling up and blocking the radar
signals or the camera's range of visibility.
No action. Very wet or snow-covered roads may sometimes prevent the cam-
era/radar sensor from functioning.
There is dirt between the inside of the windshield and the cam-
era/radar sensor.
Consult a workshop to have the area of the windshield on the inside of the cam-
era's casing cleaned. An authorized Volvo workshop is recommended.
Bright sunlight.
No action. The camera/radar sensor will reset automatically when lighting con-
ditions improve.
To avoid the risk of malfunction of the driver
support systems that use the radar sensor, the
following also apply:
The same type of windshield wipers or
wipers approved by Volvo should be used
for replacement.
High temperatures
•
•
If the temperature in the passenger compart-
ment is very high, the camera/radar sensor
will switch off temporarily for
approx. 15 minutes after the engine is started
to protect its electronic components. When
the temperature has cooled sufficiently, the
camera/radar sensor will automatically restart.
If the windshield is replaced, the camera
and radar sensor must be recalibrated by a
workshop54 to help ensure proper func-
tioning of all of the vehicle's camera and
radar-based systems.
If there are cracks, scratches or stone
chips on the windshield in front of any of
the camera and radar sensor "windows"
and this covers an area of
•
about 0.5 × 3.0 mm (0.02 × 0.12 in.) or
more, contact a workshop to have the

.
Vehicle speed
Volvo advises against repairing cracks,
scratches or stone chips in the area in
front of the camera and radar sensor – the
entire windshield should instead be
replaced.
•
•
The radar sensor's ability to detect a vehicle
ahead is significantly reduced if the speed of
the vehicle ahead differs greatly from your
vehicle's speed.
Failure to take action could result in
reduced performance for the driver support
systems that use the camera and radar
unit. It could cause functions to be
reduced, deactivated completely or to pro-
duce an incorrect function response.
Before replacing the windshield, contact a
workshop54 to verify that the right wind-
shield has been ordered and installed.

the function of systems that depend on the
camera or cause these systems to temporarily
stop functioning.
Limited field of vision
The radar sensor has a limited field of vision. In
some situations, it may detect a vehicle later
than expected or not at all.
Small vehicles, such as motorcycles, or
vehicles that are not driving in the center
of the lane may remain undetected.
Strong sunlight, reflections from the road sur-
face, ice or snow covering the road, a dirty
road surface, or unclear lane marker lines may
drastically reduce the camera’s ability to
detect the side of a lane, a pedestrian, a
cyclist, a large animal or another vehicle.
In curves, the radar may detect the wrong
vehicle or lose sight of a target vehicle.
Low trailers
Low trailer in the radar shadow.
Low trailers may also be difficult or even
impossible for the radar to detect. The driver
should be extra alert when driving behind vehi-
cles towing low trailers when Adaptive Cruise
Control* or Pilot Assist* is activated.

Reduced visibility
The radar sensor's detection of vehicles

WARNING
See the following illustration
for an example.
Be extra cautious when
reversing if this symbol is
shown when a trailer, bike
carrier or similar is
attached and electrically
connected to the vehicle.
The symbol indicates that
the rear parking assist sensors are deacti-
vated and will not warn of any obstacles.
There are "blind" sectors between the cameras' fields
of vision.
With Park Assist Camera's 360° view*
selected, objects/obstacles may not be
detected if they are located in the "joints"
where the edges of the individual camera
views meet.
A bike carrier and other accessories moun-
ted on the rear of the vehicle can obscure
the camera's view.
The vehicle's left-side camera is malfunctioning.
A dark camera sector may also be displayed in
the following situations, but without the
defective camera symbol:
