Camera and radar unit symbols and messages
Sensor blocked
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 unit 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 following table shows some of the situations that can cause the message to be displayed, and suggested actions:
| 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. |
| 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 camera/radar sensor from functioning. |
| There is dirt between the inside of the windshield and the camera/radar sensor. | Consult a workshop to have the area of the windshield on the inside of the camera's casing cleaned. An authorized Volvo workshop is recommended. |
| Bright sunlight. | No action. The camera/radar sensor will reset automatically when lighting conditions improve. |
