Common camera and radar limitations
Obstructed camera
The area marked in the illustration must be cleaned
regularly and kept free of decals, objects, solar film,
etc.
The camera is located on the upper interior
section of the windshield along with the radar
sensor.
Do not place, affix or mount anything on the
inside or outside of the windshield, or in front
of or around the camera and radar sensor –
this could disrupt camera and radar-based
functions. It could cause functions to be
reduced, deactivated completely or to produce
an incorrect function response.
High temperatures
If the temperature in the passenger compart-
ment is very high, the camera/radar sensor

will switch off temporarily for
approx. 15 minutes after the engine is started
to protect its electronic components. When
the temperature has cooled sufficiently, the
camera/radar sensor will automatically restart.
Damaged windshield
NOTE
Failure to take action could result in
reduced performance for the driver support
systems that use the camera and radar
unit. It could cause functions to be
reduced, deactivated completely or to pro-
duce an incorrect function response.
To avoid the risk of malfunction of the driver
support systems that use the radar sensor, the
following also apply:
If there are cracks, scratches or stone
•
chips on the windshield in front of any of
the camera and radar sensor "windows"
and this covers an area of
about 0.5 × 3.0 mm (0.02 × 0.12 in.) or
more, contact a workshop to have the
126
windshield replaced .
Volvo advises against repairing cracks,
•
scratches or stone chips in the area in
front of the camera and radar sensor – the
entire windshield should instead be
replaced.
Before replacing the windshield, contact a
•
126
workshop to verify that the right wind-
shield has been ordered and installed.
The same type of windshield wipers or
•
wipers approved by Volvo should be used
for replacement.
If the windshield is replaced, the camera
•
and radar sensor must be recalibrated by a
126
workshop to help ensure proper func-
tioning of all of the vehicle's camera and
radar-based systems.
Additional radar limitations
Vehicle speed
The radar sensor's ability to detect a vehicle
ahead is significantly reduced if the speed of
the vehicle ahead differs greatly from your
vehicle's speed.
