The following systems use the driver monitoring camera.

  • Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS)

  • Driver Monitoring (DM)

Each system may not operate normally if any of the following conditions is met.

  • You are wearing glasses or sunglasses (objects that do not allow infrared rays to pass through).

  • Strong light (such as direct light from the setting sun or headlights) is shining on your glasses or sunglasses.

  • Strong light (such as direct light from the setting sun or headlights) is shining on the driver monitoring camera or the driver's face.

  • The driver's face is significantly out of the detection range of the driver monitoring camera, such as when the driver leans forward or is in a driving position where the driver cannot see the entire instrument cluster.

  • A cap or hat you are wearing partially blocks the driver monitoring camera's view of your eyes, you have long bangs partially covering your eyes, or a part of your face is invisible due to a scarf, face mask, beard, or hand.

  • The lighting conditions change significantly (such as backlight, light from the side, direct light from the setting sun, or the headlights of on-coming vehicles).

  • Device that emits near-infrared light is used in the cabin.

  • The temperature in the cabin is high.

  • The driver monitoring camera is blocked by the steering wheel, hands, or arms (such as when operating the steering wheel when there is a curve or when turning).

  • There is more than one face in the detection range of the driver monitoring camera, such as when the front passenger or a rear seat passenger leans forward.

 

The camera does not take photographic images and operates on numeric information only.
