Some lighting features rely on the car's ability to sense that there are poor light conditions outside. Make sure that the car cameras are kept clean and are well-maintained. If the cameras’ views are affected by dirt, they can't do their job properly. They need to be able to obtain enough information so that they can properly direct the car’s lighting responses.
Note
There is a forward-facing camera located behind the windscreen. Do not clean the camera or any area behind the windscreen cover by yourself, it should only be carried out by an authorised Volvo workshop or similarly qualified service professional. If you are concerned that the camera's visibility is obscured by dirt, use the windscreen wipers and washer fluid to clean the windscreen in front of the camera. The camera will be cleaned during regular scheduled servicing. If in doubt, or if you suspect that the camera needs immediate cleaning, contact Volvo support.
