Symbols and messages for camera unit
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. |
Defective camera
If a camera sector is black and contains this symbol then it means that the camera is out of order.
A black camera sector is also shown in the following instances, but then without the symbol for defective camera:
- open door
- open boot lid
- folded-in door mirror.
Rear parking camera
Warning
Pay particular attention when reversing as this symbol is displayed when a trailer, bicycle rack or similar is attached and connected to the car's electrical system.
Extinguished symbol indicates that the park assist sensors to the rear are off, and so you will not be alerted to any obstacles.
