Some lighting features rely on the vehicle's ability to sense poor light conditions outside. Make sure that the vehicle's cameras are kept clean and are well-maintained. If the cameras’ views are affected by dirt, they can't do their job properly. They need to be able to obtain enough information so that they can properly direct the vehicle’s responses.

 Note

There is a forward-facing camera located behind the windshield. Do not clean the camera or any area behind the windshield cover by yourself, it should only be carried out by an authorized Volvo workshop or similarly qualified service professional. If you are concerned that the camera's visibility is obscured by dirt, use the windshield wipers and washer fluid to clean the windshield in front of the camera. The camera will be cleaned during regular scheduled servicing. If in doubt, or if you suspect that the camera needs immediate cleaning, contact Volvo Support.
