System limits
Basic limits
System operation is limited in situations such as the following:
- On steep hills, in steep depressions or in tight curves.
- When the camera is dirty or the protective glass is damaged.
- In heavy fog, rain or snowfall.
- At very high external temperatures.
Limits of pedestrian detection
Animals are not detected by the pedestrian detection function, even if they are clearly visible in the image.
Limited pedestrian detection:
- When people are fully or partially covered, especially when their heads are covered.
- When people are not in an upright position, e.g., when lying down.
- Cyclists on unconventional bicycles (e.g., recumbent bicycles).
- After physical damage to the system, e.g., after an accident.
