about 15 minutes after the engine is started so

Common limitations for camera and
radar
•

•
Blocked unit
Damaged windscreen
The same type of windscreen wipers or
windscreen wipers approved by Volvo
must be fitted when the windscreen is
replaced.
NOTE
If not rectified it can lead to reduced per-
formance for the driver support systems
that use the camera and radar unit. This
may result functions being reduced, being
switched off completely or giving incorrect
function responses.
When replacing the windscreen, the cam-
era and radar unit must be recalibrated by
a workshop132 to ensure the functionality
of all the camera and radar-based systems
in the car.
Further limitations for radar
The following is also applicable so as not to
risk incorrect function for the driver supports
that use the radar unit:
The marked area must be cleaned regularly and kept
free from stickers, objects, shade film, etc.
Vehicle speed
The radar unit's ability to detect a vehicle
ahead is greatly reduced if the speed of the
vehicle ahead is very different to the speed of
your own car.
The camera unit is placed inside the upper
section of the windscreen together with the
car's radar unit.
If a scratch, crack or stone chip appears

"windows" for the camera and radar unit

Do not place, stick or mount anything on the
inside or outside of the windscreen, in front of
or around the camera and radar unit – this
may interfere with camera and radar-based
functions. This may result functions being
reduced, being switched off completely or giv-
ing incorrect function responses.
approx. 0.5 × 3.0 mm (0.02 × 0.12 in.) or
more, a workshop132 must be contacted
so that the windscreen can be replaced.
Volvo recommends not repairing cracks,
scratches or stone chips in the area in
front of the camera and radar unit – the
entire windscreen should be replaced
instead.
