+## Why are my features not found?
+
+You are using `ol.Map#forEachFeatureAtPixel` or `ol.Map#hasFeatureAtPixel`, but
+it sometimes does not work for large icons or labels? The *hit detection* only
+checks features that are within a certain distance of the given position. For large
+icons, the actual geometry of a feature might be too far away and is not considered.
+
+In this case, set the `renderBuffer` property of `ol.layer.Vector` (the default
+value is 100px):
+
+```javascript
+var vectorLayer = new ol.layer.Vector({
+  ...
+  renderBuffer: 200
+});
+```
+
+The recommended value is the size of the largest symbol, line width or label.
