Windscreen damage
Small cracks or chips
Small windscreen cracks or chips can quickly spread, turning it from minor to severe damage. Contact an authorised Volvo workshop if you notice glass damage. Repair the windscreen as soon as possible.
Important
Camera and sensor area
- Any windscreen damage in this area requires inspection by a service technician.
- Volvo recommends not repairing small damage in the camera and sensor area. Instead, the entire windscreen should be replaced.
Severe glass damage
If the windscreen suffers severe damage, the entire glass panel needs to be replaced.
Warning
Compromised safety
Do not drive the car if there is structural damage to the windscreen. Weakened glass can degrade very quickly, impair visibility and seriously compromise safety.
Note
Compatibility of new windscreen
It's important that the new windscreen and its installation meet Volvo's specifications for safety and compatibility with the car's features.
Calibration
When a windscreen is installed, the forward-facing camera behind the glass requires function checks and calibration by a service technician to ensure that it works correctly.
