Volvo S60: The radar sensor and its limitations
In addition to being used by ACC, the radar sensor is also used by Distance Alert (see page 165) and Collision Warning with Full Auto-brake and Pedestrian Detection (see page 173). This sensor is designed to detect cars or larger vehicles driving in the same direction as your vehicle, in the same lane.
WARNING
Accessories or other objects, such as extra headlights, must not be installed in front of the grille.
