Side View
The concept
Side View provides an early look at cross traffic at blind driveways and intersections. Road users concealed by obstacles to the left and right of the vehicle can only be detected relatively late from the driver's seat. To improve visibility, two cameras in the front of the vehicle record the traffic situation on each side.
System limits
The cameras capture a maximum range of 330 ft/100 m.
Display
The images from both cameras are shown simultaneously on the Control Display.
Check the traffic situation as well
Check the traffic situation around the vehicle
on blind driveways and intersections with
your own eyes. Otherwise, an accident could result
from road users or objects located outside
the picture area of the Side View cameras.◀
