Volvo XC90: Driver support / Distance Alert limitations
Distance Alert functionality may be reduced in certain situations. The function
is only available in vehicles that can display information on the windshield with
a head-up display *.
WARNING
- Detection ability may be affected by vehicle size, e.g. motorcycles,
which can cause the warning light to come on at a shorter time interval than
that set or cause the warning to be temporarily absent.
- Very high speeds can cause the light to come on at a shorter time
interval than that set due to limitations in the range of the radar unit.
NOTE
The function uses the vehicle's camera and radar sensor, which has certain
general limitations.
