Cause Action
Water or snow on the surface of the road swirl up and block radar signals or the camera's
view. No action. The driver should be extra alert in conditions of this
type.
There is dirt between the inside of the windshield and the camera/radar sensor. Have the area of the windshield cleaned by a trained and quali-
fied Volvo service technician.
The radar sensor's capacity to detect vehicles
ahead is impeded:
•
if the speed of the vehicle ahead differs
greatly from your vehicle's speed.
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 detect other vehicles at all.
Radar sensor's field of vision
In certain situations, the radar sensor cannot
detect vehicles at close quarters, for example
a vehicle that suddenly enters the lane
between your vehicle and the target vehicle.
Small vehicles, such as motorcycles, or vehi-
cles not driving in the center of the lane may
remain undetected.
In curves, the radar sensor may detect the
wrong vehicle or lose sight of the target vehi-
cle.
Low trailer in the radar shadow
Low trailers may also be difficult to detect or may
not be detected at all. The driver should be extra
alert in situations of this type.
