Default Will Vinyl Car Wrap Affect the Sensors?

I recently purchased a 2020 XC60 with Pro and Plus package, so it's got all the Parking assist and Pilot assist cool techie stuff. I'm about to do a full Satin/Matte car wrap. Does anyone know if the 3m vinyl will affect the functionality or sensibility of the sensors?

If the sensors (if you are talking about the round parking sensors) are covered it will likely cause issues.
The dealer I work at (not Volvo) the cars that get the vinyl protection the parking sensors do not get covered.

Twice I have wrapped my own car and have no problems with the bumpers' parking sensors. Make sure that you don't have any air between the sensor and vinyl or parking sensors.
