'Windscreen Sensors Blocked'
Driving in thick fog this morning the message 'Windscreen Sensors Blocked' popped up. Which sensors might these be and what might have blocked them?

It could be for auto/variable speed wiping I suppose.

Now here's a funny thing. Searching around, I find this in the MY 2012 V70 handbook;

Do you have "Collision Warning with Autobrake"?
My manual (on P.185) says that thick fog can cause this issue, as well as a dirty windscreen - I assume the sensors are mounted inside the car and look through the windscreen? |

that's it, the cameras are mounted on the windscreen. I get this occasionally, usually just a bit of dirt or fog.

Lane Departure Warning
I am resurrecting this thread as the issue has never been adequately explained and something else has started which I have a gut feeling may be related. The Lane Departure Warning (LDW) has recently been 'unavailable' more often than I would expect and sometimes simply 'OFF' despite the option to activate on start-up being selected. I have even now enabled the 'enhanced sensitivity' option! Has anyone else had any issues with LDW?
