Recommended maintenance for the camera and radar units

Updated 2021-10-19

In order for the camera and radar units to function properly, they must be kept free of dirt, ice, snow, etc. and should be washed regularly with water and car washing detergent.

Note

Dirt, ice and snow covering the sensors could cause false warnings, reduced function, or no function.

The areas that should be kept clean, on both the left and right sides of the vehicle, are marked in the following illustrations.

For best possible performance, it is important to keep the areas in front of the sensors clean.
Do not attach any objects, tape or decals to the surface of the sensors.
Clean the camera lenses regularly using lukewarm water and car washing detergent. Wash gently to avoid scratching the lens.

Important

Only a workshop may perform maintenance on driver support components – an authorized Volvo workshop is recommended.
