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.

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.
