Radar sensor symbols and messages
Here are examples of some of the messages and symbols related to the radar sensor that may be displayed in the instrument panel.
Sensor blocked
If this symbol and the message “Windscreen sensor Sensor blocked, see Manual” are displayed in the instrument panel, it means that the radar sensor is unable to detect other vehicles, cyclists, pedestrians and large animals in front of the vehicle and that the vehicle's camera- and radar-based functions may be obstructed.
The following table shows some of the situations that can cause the message to be displayed, and suggested actions:
| Cause | Action |
|---|---|
| The area of the windshield in front of the radar sensor is dirty or covered by ice or snow. | Clean the area in front of the radar sensor. |
| Thick fog, heavy rain or snow is blocking the radar signals. | No action. Heavy precipitation may sometimes prevent the camera/radar sensor from functioning. |
| Water or snow is spraying/swirling up and blocking the radar signals. | No action. Very wet or snow-covered roads may sometimes prevent the camera/radar sensor from functioning. |
