Distance Alert limitations
37
Distance Alert functionality may be reduced in
certain situations.
WARNING
•
The radar sensor has a limited field of
vision. In some situations, it may detect a
vehicle later than expected or not detect
other vehicles at all.
•
The radar sensor cannot cover all driving
situations and traffic, weather and road
conditions.
•
The driver is responsible for maintaining a
safe distance and speed and must inter-
vene if the various driver support systems
do not maintain a suitable speed or suita-
ble distance to the vehicle ahead.
•
Maintenance of radar sensor components
may only be performed by a trained and
qualified Volvo technician.
•
Strong sunlight, reflections from the road
surface, strong lighting contrasts or using
sunglasses may make the warning light in
the windshield difficult to see. Poor
weather or winding roads can affect the
radar sensor's capacity to detect vehicles
ahead.
•
A vehicle's size (e.g., a motorcycle) can
also affect the radar sensor's capacity to
detect another vehicle. This may result in
the warning light illuminating at a shorter
distance than the one that has been set
or not illuminating at all.
•
High speeds may also result in the warn-
ing light illuminating at a shorter distance
than the one that has been set due to
limitations in the radar sensor's range.
NOTE
The function uses the vehicle's radar unit,
which has some general limitations – see the
section "Radar unit limitations".
