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.
