NOTE
If warnings are given too frequently, the
warning distance can be reduced (see
page 183). This causes the system to pro-
vide later warnings, which decreases the
total number of warnings provided.
The camera’s limitations
The camera is used by Collision Warning with
Auto-brake, Driver Alert Control (see
page 188), and Lane Departure Warning (see
page 191).
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 function-
ing.
•
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 or another vehicle.
Fault tracing and actions
If the message
Windscreen Sensors
blocked is displayed, this means that the cam-
era is obscured and cannot detect vehicles or
road marker lines in front of the vehicle.
This, in turn, means that Collision Warning with
Auto-brake, Lane Departure Warning, and
Driver Alert Control will not have full function-
ality.
The table lists possible causes for this mes-
sage being displayed, and suitable actions.
