Symbols and messages for camera unit
Here are examples of some of the messages and symbols relating to the camera unit that may be shown in the driver display.
Sensor blocked
If the driver display shows this symbol and the message Windscreen sensor blocked See Manual, this means that the camera unit cannot detect other vehicles, cyclists, pedestrians and large animals in front of the car, and that the car's camera-based functions may be disrupted.
The following table presents examples of possible causes for a message being shown, along with the appropriate action:
| Cause | Action |
|---|---|
| The windscreen surface in front of the camera unit is dirty or covered with ice or snow. | Clean dirt, ice and snow from the windscreen surface in front of the camera unit. |
| Thick fog and heavy rain or snow block the camera view. | No action. Sometimes the unit does not work during heavy rain or snowfall. |
| Water or snow from the road surface swirls up and blocks the camera view. | No action. Sometimes the unit does not work on a very wet or snow-covered road surface. |
| Dirt has entered between the inside of the windscreen and the camera unit. | Cleaning the windscreen inside the unit cover is necessary – contact Polestar Customer Support. |
| Strong oncoming light | No action. The camera unit is reset automatically in more favourable light conditions. |
