Front camera obstruction?

Got a notice while I was driving that said the front camera may be obstructed... Any thoughts?

It is a known issue if your car sits in the sun on a hot day. The message will come on a few minutes after you start driving. Was it parked outside in the sun before you got the message?

I get it sometimes, like said above. Driving into a sunset can trigger it, or excessively dirty windscreen. Car sorts itself out on restart.
