Detector blocked
If the driver display shows this symbol and a message, this means that the camera and radar units cannot detect other vehicles, cyclists, pedestrians and large animals in front of the car, and that the car's camera-based and radar-based functions may be disrupted.
The following table presents examples of possible causes for a message being shown, along with the appropriate action:
Cause | Action |
---|---|
The surface area in front of the radar unit is dirty or covered with ice or snow. | Clean the surface area in front of the radar unit from dirt, ice and snow. |
The windscreen surface in front of the camera unit is dirty or covered with ice or snow. | Clean dirt, ice and snow from the windscreen surface in front of the camera unit. |
Thick fog and heavy rain or snow block the radar signals or the camera view. | No action. Sometimes the unit does not work during heavy rain or snowfall. |
Water or snow from the road surface swirls up and blocks the radar signals or camera view. | No action. Sometimes the unit does not work on a very wet or snow-covered road surface. |
Strong oncoming light | No action. The camera unit is reset automatically in more favourable light conditions. |
