Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Theory Of Operation
The Driver Assistance System Module (DASM) integrates radar and camera sensors into a single unit and is used to detect objects near a vehicle. The module communicates with other modules on the vehicle to provide a system of enhanced safety functions.
- Conventional Cruise Control
- Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
- Automatic High Beam Control (AHBC)
- Lane Departure Warning (LDW)
- Advanced Emergency Braking (AEB)
- Forward Collision Warning (FCW)
