. 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 .
. If there is condensation on the user recognition camera or the infrared light source ( LED ), correct detection may not be possible . If there is condensation on these parts , wipe it away with a soft dry cloth .
. When registering a user for user recognition , avoid closing your eyes as much as possible .
. If the user recognition success rate is low , it is possible that the user is not correctly registered . Delete the registered data and perform registration again .
. If a user frequently drives both with glasses and contact lenses , it is recommended that registration be performed both when wearing glasses and when wearing contact lenses .
. User recognition starts immediately after entering the vehicle , however if the user looks downward or at the driver side mirror for a long time , the user may not be recognized .
. When one person among twins or another pair of persons with similar facial features is registered , the other person may be incorrectly recognized as the registered user when entering the vehicle .
. If the person in the passenger ’ s seat leans into the driver ’ s seat , or in other cases when there are two or more faces near the driver ’ s seat , the system may not operate correctly .
. There are cases when the system concludes that the user ’ s eyes are closed when the user is looking downward during driving , such as when checking instruments or the navigation screen . In such cases , the drowsy driving warning buzzer may sound or the system may otherwise not operate correctly .
. If the eyes are narrowed when laughing or when there is a dazzling outside light , the system may judge that the eyes are closed and the drowsy driving warning buzzer may sound or the system may otherwise not operate correctly .
. The drowsy driving or asleep warning states are recognized from the length of time and percentage of time that the eyes are closed . The drowsy driving warning buzzer will not sound simply when the driver feels sleepy or yawns .
. Even when the driver does not feel sleepy , if his or her eyes are closed or if he or she blinks frequently , the drowsy driving warning buzzer may sound .
