Driver Alert Support - Volvo FM Handbook

174 Driving
If the LCS does not work
LCS can be limited by snow, ice or dirt in the close
vicinity of the sensor and in some weather conditions,
such as snowfall
or heavy rain. The sensor function can be impaired by
e.g. an extremely wide load, superstructures or other
fixed
installations within the sensor's field of view. If an
alteration to the superstructure or other modification
has been made within or close to the sensor's field of
view, the LCS function should be checked by a
workshop.
LCS does not warn for pedestrians, cyclists or fixed
objects within the sensor's field of view and can in
certain situations
have difficulty in detecting motorcycles and mopeds.

Driver Alert Support

Driver Alert Support is a driving support system, the
purpose of which is to inform the driver of his or her
awareness when driving.
The function is intended to attract the drivers attention
when he/she starts to exhibit impaired driving ability,
e.g. if the driver starts to fall
asleep.
The main area of use is on larger main roads. The
function is not intended for use in town traffic.

sensor on a left-hand drive truck
Warning!
Any modifications to the area in
front of the sensor will result in
Volvo not being able to guarantee
the correct function of the LCS.
Warning!
Driver Alert Support does not
function in all situations, it is
only intended to be a
supplementary aid. The driver is
ultimately responsible for driving
the vehicle in a safe manner.
