Camera and radar unit symbols and messages
Sensor blocked
If this symbol and a message are displayed in the instrument panel, it means that the camera and radar units 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 is dirty or covered by ice or snow. | Clean the windshield in front of the camera 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. |
| Bright sunlight. | No action. The camera/radar sensor will reset automatically when lighting conditions improve. |
Defective camera
If a camera sector is dark, this indicates that the camera is not functioning properly.
A dark camera sector may also be displayed in the following situations, but without the defective camera symbol:
- a door is open
- the tailgate is open
- a rearview mirror is folded in
Rear Park Assist Camera
Warning
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.
An unlit symbol indicates that the rear parking assist sensors are deactivated and will not warn of any obstacles.
