Interior equipment CONTROLS
Occupying the seats
The interior camera is also used for the detec-
tion of occupied seats.
When all doors are closed, the interior camera
switches on automatically on a regular basis.
The system analyzes the vehicle interior to
detect occupied seats. No media recordings
are made in the process. Two infrared light
sources next to the camera lens light up while
the interior camera is active. Depending on the
lighting conditions, the infrared light sources
may be visible.
