2023 Volvo XC90 Camera and Radar Unit Owners Manual

Blocked unit

Do not position, stick or install anything in front of or around the camera and radar units – this may disrupt camera and radar-based functions. This may result functions being reduced, being switched off completely or giving incorrect function responses.

Damaged windscreen

• If a scratch, crack or stone chip appears in front of the unit and covers an area of approx. 0.5 × 3.0 mm (0.02 × 0.12 inches) or more, a workshop (An authorised Volvo workshop is recommended) must be contacted so that the windscreen can be replaced.
• Volvo recommends not repairing cracks, scratches or stone chips in the area in front of the unit – the entire windscreen should be replaced instead.
• Before replacing a windscreen, contact a workshop(An authorised Volvo workshop is recommended) to verify that the correct windscreen has been ordered and will be fitted.
• The same type of windscreen wipers or windscreen wipers approved by Volvo must be fitted when the windscreen is replaced.
• When replacing the windscreen, the camera unit must be recalibrated by a workshop (An authorised Volvo workshop is recommended) to ensure the functionality of all the camera-based systems in the car.

Vehicle speed

The radar unit’s ability to detect a vehicle ahead is greatly reduced if the speed of the vehicle ahead is very different to the speed of your own car.

Limited field of vision

The radar unit has a limited field of vision. In some situations another vehicle is not detected, or the detection is made later than expected.

The radar unit’s field of vision

1. Sometimes the radar unit is late at detecting vehicles at close distances – e.g. a vehicle that drives in between your car and the vehicle ahead.
2. Small vehicles, such as motorcycles, or vehicles not driving in the centre of the lane can remain undetected.
3. In bends, the radar unit may detect a different vehicle than intended or lose a detected vehicle from view.

Reduced function

In the event of heavy rain or slush or ice on the emblem, radar unit functions may be reduced, completely deactivated, or give incorrect function response.

Strong oncoming light, reflections in the carriageway, snow or ice on the road surface, dirty road surfaces or unclear lane markings can also significantly reduce camera function when it is used to scan the carriageway to detect pedestrians, cyclists, large animals and other vehicles.

Bicycle racks or other accessories mounted at the rear of the car may obscure the camera’s view.

Blind sectors

There are “blind” sectors between the cameras’ fields of vision.

In the park assist camera’s 360° view obstacles/objects may “vanish” in the gaps between the individual cameras.

Light conditions

The camera image is adjusted automatically according to prevailing light conditions. Because of this, the image may vary slightly in brightness and quality. Poor light conditions can result in reduced image quality.

The camera unit is used by several driver support systems and has the task of for example detecting lane lines or traffic signs.

Location of the camera unit

The camera unit is used for the following functions:

• Pilot Assist(Option/accessory)
• Lane assistance(Option/accessory)
• Assistance at risk of collision
• Driver Alert(Option/accessory)
• Road Sign Information(Option/accessory)
• Active main beam(Option/accessory)
• Park Assist(Option/accessory)
• Ready to drive notification

Important
Do not attempt to access the camera using sharp or foreign objects through the air vents as this may damage the equipment.

Radar units

The radar units are used by several driver support systems and monitor various areas around the car.

Location of front radar unit

Location of rear radar units

Modifying radar units may make them illegal to use.

Avoid fitting auxiliary lamps or similar in front of the grille as this may affect radar unit functionality.

Use only Volvo genuine emblems in the grille in front of the front radar unit so as not to affect the function of the front radar unit.
