Symbols and messages for camera and radar units
Here are examples of some of the display messages and symbols regarding the camera and radar that can be shown in the driver display.
Detector blocked
If the driver display shows this symbol and a message, this means that the camera and radar units cannot detect other vehicles, cyclists, pedestrians and large animals in front of the car, and that the car's camera-based 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 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 radar signals or 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 radar signals or camera view. | No action. Sometimes the unit does not work on a very wet or snow-covered road surface. |
| Strong oncoming light | No action. The camera unit is reset automatically in more favourable light conditions. |
Defective camera
If a camera sector is black it means that the camera is inoperative.
A black camera sector is also shown in the following instances, but then without the symbol for defective camera:
- open door
- open tailgate
- folded-in door mirror.
Rear parking camera
Warning
Pay additional attention while reversing when this symbol is shown if a trailer, bicycle rack or similar is mounted and electrically connected to the car.
Extinguished symbol indicates that the parking assistance sensors rearward are switched off and warn of any obstacles.
