Radar sensor

The function of the radar sensor is to detect
cars or larger vehicles in the same direction,
in the same lane.
The radar sensor is used by the following
functions:
Distance Warning*
Adaptive cruise control*
Collision Warning with Auto Brake and
Pedestrian Detection*
IMPORTANT
In the event of visible damage to the car's
grille, or if you suspect that the radar sen-
sor may be damaged:
Contact a workshop - an authorised
Volvo workshop is recommended.
The function may completely or partially
disappear - or malfunction - if the grille,
the radar sensor or its bracket is damaged
or has loosened.
Modification of the radar sensor could result
in it being illegal to use.

Radar sensor - limitations

A radar sensor (p. 210) has certain limitations
- due to its limited field of vision for example.
The capacity of the adaptive cruise control to
detect a vehicle in front is significantly
reduced if:
the speed of vehicles in front is signifi-
cantly different from your own speed
its radar sensor becomes blocked - e.g.
in heavy rain or slush, or if other objects
have collected in front of the radar sen-
sor.
NOTE
Keep the area in front of the radar sensor
clean - see subheading "Maintenance"
(p. 229).
Field of vision
The radar sensor has a limited field of vision.
In some situations another vehicle is not
detected, or the detection is made later than
expected.
