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, Active High Beams (Active high beams (AHB)*), Road Sign Information (Road Sign Information (RSI)* – introduction) and Driver Alert System (Driver Alert System) 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 limitations as the human eye. In other words, its “vision is impaired” by adverse weather conditions such as heavy snowfall, dense fog, etc. These conditions may reduce the function of systems that depend on the camera or cause these systems to temporarily stop functioning.
  • Never place any objects, decals, etc., on the windshield in front of the camera. This could reduce or block the camera’s function, 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.
