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.
System function
Front View Camera supports the following functions using the information (lane, light source, vehicle and pedestrian) detected by the front view camera and the vehicle's signal information (CAN communication).
- Lane Keeping Assist (LKA): If it is judged that the vehicle leaves the road during driving, the driver is warned of the danger and the steering is controlled in order to prevent the accident. The LKA provides visual/audible warning to the driver if it is determined that the lane departs from the lane in consideration of the lane and road boundary information recognized by the front view camera and whether or not the turn signal lamp operates.
However, the front view camera may not operate normally in the limit situation where the lane and road boundaries can not be recognized.
- High Beam Assist (HBA): High Beam Assist (HBA) controls the operation of the high beam in order to maximize the front visual range while minimizing casting the glare on other drivers at night and under low light conditions. The system uses the front camera to detect whether there is any light source from the front or oncoming vehicle or street light. The system turns off the high beam if there is a light source and turns on the high beam if there is no light source. However, when the front view camera is unable to detect the surrounding situation, the system may not operate normally.
- Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA): It warns the driver of risk and controls the braking of the vehicle to prevent collision with front obstacle during driving.
(If Sensor Fusion FCA is equipped) THE MFC transmits the recognition information about the forward vehicle/pedestrian to the front radar using CAN communication for FCA operation.
- Driver Attention Warning (DAW): If it is judged that the driver is inattention driving, the driver is warned to prevent an accident. The DAW Analyses the driving pattern of the driver in consideration of the lane information recognized by the front camera and the information such as the speed/steering angle/brake operation of the vehicle, and gives a visual/audible warning to the driver when it is determined that the driver is inadvertent driving.
However, the front camera may not operate normally in a marginal situation where the surroundings can not be recognized.
