STARTING AND OPERATING
concentrating on safe driving.
. It cannot judge if the driver is awake or asleep, if their driving abilities have diminished, or if they are concentrating on safe driving.
. In some circumstances, the system may not be able to correctly detect the driver state.
NOTE
. The user recognition camera does not save images, audio, or video.
. The Driver Monitoring System may not operate correctly when sunlight is shining into the vehicle in the following ways.
– Sunlight is shining directly( or through glass) onto the user recognition camera. – There are shadows on the driver’ s
face caused by sunlight( or any light with a strong infrared component). – There are large momentary fluctuations in the strength of the sunlight( or any light with a strong infrared component) shining on the face.
. Correct detection may not be possible when a device that includes an infrared light source( such as a commercially available Driver Monitoring System) is installed in the vehicle interior.
. The Driver Monitoring System may not operate correctly at the following times when the driver is wearing glasses or sunglasses.
– The sunglasses do not allow the
easy passage of infrared light. – The surrounding scenery is reflected strongly in the lenses of the
glasses or sunglasses. – The eyes are hidden by the frame
of the glasses and the user recognition camera cannot detect the
eyes. – The light from an infrared light
source( LED) is reflected in the lenses of the glasses or sunglasses. – The driver is wearing an eyepatch. – The driver is wearing a hat set
deeply over the eyes.
. Depending on the type of mask, correct detection of inattentive / drowsy driving may not be possible.
. Correct user recognition is not possible if the eyes, nose, or mouth is covered with a mask, muffler, sunglasses, or other item.
. The Driver Monitoring System may not operate correctly when the eyebrows, eyes, nose, or mouth is hidden due to item that is between the face and the system.
. If a thick cover is attached to the steering wheel, then depending on the position set for the tilt / telescopic steering wheel, the cover may block the system’ s view of the face, and the system and the Driver Monitoring System may not operate correctly.
. Do not attach any stickers to the user recognition camera or the infrared light source( LED). If the user recognition camera or infrared light source( LED) is covered by an obstruction, it will not be possible to correctly monitor the driver.
. If an accessory is hung from the inside mirror, correct detection may not be possible.
. Do not touch the user recognition camera or the infrared light source( LED) directly with your fingers. If there is dirt or a fingerprint on these parts, it will not be possible to correctly monitor the driver. If there is dirt or a fingerprint on these parts, either wipe them with a soft dry cloth, or wipe gently with a damp cloth after first firmly wringing the water out.
. If the surface of the user recognition camera or the infrared light source( LED) becomes scratched, correct detection may not be possible. Be careful that hard objects do not contact these parts.
