I had the same thing on my V40 when I bought it - red flashing warning when you were well clear of pedestrians or cyclists at low speed on a narrow road.
There is a setting you can change for detection range - normal, long or short. After several false alerts I changed mine to short & have only had one false alert when passing clear of a car that was stopping on a roundabout. I think the software tries to predict what could happen rather than the actual situation. Mine is an early 2014 model so could still be using older software. |

I have found the distance setting and adjusted it to short, not had anything happen since. I think it was probably set to longer and i have just happened to get "too close" to the car in front for the longer distance it was set at. Seems ok now. |

I had my software updated at the main dealers at the last service and it has improved - I now have it set to normal distance.
The software (also in new loan cars I've had) doesn't like cars/cyclists off the side of the road to your left parked or on a cycle lane but facing you though - I've had a few false alarms from that, it probably thinks they are overtaking and coming head on! |
