DA 5.0 Vehicle Camera
IMPORTANT: The windshield must be clean,
unobstructed, and without damage for proper
operation of the multipurpose camera and rain/
light sensor.
Multipurpose Camera 2 (MPC2)
The camera bracket that comes with Detroit Assur-
ance 5.0 can hold a driver facing camera (DFC),
multipurpose camera 2 (MPC2), and rain light sensor
(RLS). The unit is mounted against the windshield.
See
Fig. 6.1 .
The MPC2 works with the radar system to support
multiple features within DA 5.0. It is important for the
driver to keep the windshield clean and unobstructed
in order for the MPC2 to operate properly.
Driver Facing Camera
The DFC is in a self-contained housing of the main
camera unit; it records the interior view with a video
capture feature in the case of a safety critical event.
Rain Light Sensor
This sensor is used to detect rain, snow, or other
precipitation on the windshield and determine the
amount of ambient light. When precipitation is de-
tected, wipers set to intermittent operation start clear-
ing the windshield. When ambient light decreases to
a preset level due to sunset, fog, or other event, and
the headlight switch is set to the ’A’ position, the low
beam headlights and all exterior lights turn on.
For additional windshield wiper and headlight infor-
mation, see
Chapter 4 .
DA 5.0 Collision Mitigation
System (CMS)
The Detroit Assurance 5.0 Collision Mitigation Sys-
tem is a driver safety system that uses radar
mounted on the front frame crossmember (see
Fig. 6.2 ) and a windshield-mounted multipurpose
camera to communicate information to the vehicles’s
brakes, engine, and transmission.
The system can track vehicles up to 820 feet (250
meters) ahead, and, if necessary, will sound a warn-
ing and apply the brakes.
IMPORTANT: Do not mount any attachments in
front of the radar distance sensor. Do not paint
or affix items over the distance sensor cover. If
attachments are mounted in front of the dis-
tance sensor, such as a crash guard, they can
impair the operation of the distance sensor.
Driver Display
The driver display presents warnings and the status
of Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Active Brake As-
sist (ABA), Tailgate Warning, and/or Lane Departure
Warning (LDW). Refer to Adaptive Cruise Control
(ACC), Active Brake Assist (ABA), Tailgate Warning,
