Symbols and messages for radar unit
Here are examples of some of the messages and symbols relating to the radar unit that may be shown in the driver display.
Sensor blocked
If the driver display shows this symbol and the message Windscreen sensor Sensor blocked, see Manual, this means that the radar unit cannot detect other vehicles, cyclists, pedestrians and large animals in front of the car, and that the car's camera and radar-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 surface in front of the radar unit is dirty or covered with ice or snow. | Clean the surface in front of the radar unit. |
| Thick fog and heavy rain or snow block the radar signals. | 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 radar signals. | No action. Sometimes the unit does not work on a very wet or snow-covered road surface. |
