The camera’s limitations
The camera has the same limitations as the
human eye.
The camera is used by Pedestrian and Cyclist
Detection with Full Auto Brake Collision warning
– introduction (p. 202), Active High Beams
(Active high beams (AHB)* (p. 85)), Road Sign
Information (Road Sign Information (RSI)* – intro-
duction (p. 171)) and Driver Alert System (Driver
Alert System (p. 215)) with Lane Departure
Warning or Lane Keeping Aid.
NOTE
•
To help protect the camera in very hot
conditions, it may be temporarily switched
off for approximately 15 minutes after the
engine has been started.
•
Keep the section of the windshield in
front of the camera clean and free of ice,
snow, or condensation.
WARNING
•
The camera has the same type of limita-
tions as the human eye, i.e., it cannot see
as well in heavy snowfall or rain, thick fog
or in heavy blowing dust or snow. In such
conditions, systems depending on the
camera may experience greatly reduced
functionality or may be temporarily deacti-
vated.
•
Never place any objects, decals, etc., on
the windshield in front of the camera. This
could reduce or block the camera’s func-
tion, and could cause one or more of the
systems that utilize the camera to stop
functioning.
•
Strong sunlight, reflections from the road
surface, ice or snow covering the road, a
dirty road surface, or unclear lane marker
lines may drastically reduce the camera’s
capacity to detect the side of a lane, a
pedestrian, a cyclist or another vehicle.
