Driver monitor
Basic functions
During controlled driving, the driver monitor camera detects the position and direction the driver is facing, and whether their eyes are opened or closed. Through this, the system determines if the driver is checking their surroundings and if the driver can perform driving operations.
In order to operate properly, the driver monitor camera requires an unobstructed view of the driver’ s face.
If the steering column or seat position is either too high or too low, or if any other condition is present that obstructs the driver monitor camera’ s view of the driver’ s face, some driving support systems may not operate properly, or a warning message may be displayed.
