Symbols and messages for camera and radar units
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 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. |
Defective camera
If a camera sector is black it means that the camera is inoperative.
A black camera sector is also shown in the following instances, but then without the symbol for defective camera:
- open door
- open tailgate
- folded-in door mirror.
Rear parking camera
Warning
Pay additional attention while reversing when this symbol is shown if a trailer, bicycle rack or similar is mounted and electrically connected to the car.
Extinguished symbol indicates that the parking assistance sensors rearward are switched off and warn of any obstacles.
