Camera Blocked

This text message indicates that the camera lens is blocked; or, a camera may have reported "reduced function" for a longer time period than 10 minutes. The light-emitting diodes indicate constant an object in the "dead angle".

Conditions that may cause the text message:

• Low standing sun means that it will be light on one side and dark on the other side of the vehicle.
• Heavy rain or snow.

Corrective actions 

• Remove the key from the ignition switch.
• Clean the camera lens. Use a soft rag or moist sponge, so that it is not scratched.
• Check the heater in the lens by spraying on a thin layer of frost using freeze spray. Make sure that the mist disappears. Lens temperature should be 70 - 75 °C.
• If the heater works correctly, inform the customer that the system as a whole and about the system's technical limitations.
• If the fault message does not disappear, turn off the engine, remove the key, and start again.
• If the heater does not work, replace the rear-view mirror in question.
