Locations of cameras, sensors and radars
Many of your car's driver support features rely on data from components that scan and map your car's surroundings, such as cameras, sensors and the radar. This section doesn't show all components and their precise locations, but it gives you a general idea of where they are. Areas pointed out in this section are particularly important to keep clean. Damage to these areas can also affect functions that rely on components located there.
Warning
Clean regularly
Camera, sensor and radar locations on the car must be cleaned on a regular basis and kept free from labels, objects, dirt and other potential obstructions. Otherwise, car functions may respond incorrectly or become less responsive or deactivated.
Mounted accessories
Be mindful of the effects of mounted car accessories such as load carriers or exterior lighting accessories. The items themselves or the load you add may obstruct cameras, sensors or radars.
