Camera limitations
The camera used by several of the driver support
systems has certain limitations, which also affect
the systems using it.
Reduced visibility
WARNING
•
The camera has the same limitations as
the human eye. In other words, its “vision
is impaired” by adverse weather condi-
tions 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 tem-
porarily 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, a large animal or
another vehicle.
Obstructions
The marked area must not be obstructed in any way.
This area of the windshield should always be kept clean
The camera is located at the upper, center sec-
tion of the windshield along with the radar sen-
sor.
WARNING
Never place any objects, decals, electronic toll
devices, window tinting films etc., on the wind-
shield in front of or around the camera/radar
sensor. This could reduce or block these com-
ponents' functions, and could cause one or
more of the systems that utilize them to stop
functioning.
This can also result in certain functions being
reduced or disabled, or they may respond
incorrectly.
If this symbol and the message
Windscreen Sensors blocked
appear in the instrument panel, this
indicates that the camera and/or radar
sensor cannot detect other vehicles ahead.
The following table shows some of the situations
that can cause the message to be displayed and
suggested actions.
Cause Action
The area of the windshield in front of the camera/radar sensor is dirty or covered
by ice or snow.
Clean the windshield or remove the ice/ snow.
Thick fog or heavy rain/snow reduces the camera/radar sensor's range of visibility. No action. The driver should be extra alert in conditions of this type.
