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 warn-
ing – introduction (p. 204), Active High Beams
(Active high beams (AHB)* (p. 88)), Road Sign
Information (Road Sign Information (RSI)* –
introduction (p. 174)) and Driver Alert System
(Driver Alert System (p. 217)) 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 condi-
tions may reduce the function of sys-
tems 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 cam-
era. 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.
