Description And Operation
DESCRIPTION
The Forward Facing Camera (FFC) is a stand-alone monocular camera mounted to the inside interior of the front windshield within the Combined Rear View Mirror Module (CRVMM) housing, that captures and processes video images.
OPERATION
The camera will perform the following functions on this model:
- Active Lane Management (ALM) - LDW+ utilizes camera-based machine vision sensor to detect and measure vehicle position within lane boundaries (when enabled). The system can be turned ON or OFF with a single hard button on the Integrated Center Stack (ICS). The driver can configure the torque feedback amount and warning zone start point through the personalization settings in the radio. Three settings for each are provided for more information. Refer to DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION .
- Automatic High Beam Control (AHBC)
- Based on ambient situations, the AHBC feature will control the vehicle high-beam headlights automatically, relieving the driver of the manual operation of the high beam headlights. The AHBC feature automatically turns off the high beams when there is oncoming traffic, preceding traffic, presence of a village, high ambient lighting (for example, town, twilight, dusk, and others.), and when the vehicle driving speeds are too low. For additional detailed operating parameters of the AHBC system
Refer to DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION . For additional description and functionality of the AHBC system.
- Forward Collision Warning (FCW) - The FFC in conjunction with the radar sensor is used to detect whether the vehicle is approaching another vehicle in its path too rapidly and will warn/assist the driver in avoiding/mitigating the incident (when enabled). The driver has the ability to adjust the sensitivity and turn brake support ON or OFF in the radio, for more information. Refer to DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION .
- Object and environment detection for supporting data fusion (ACC)
- The camera provides additional object, lane and environmental conditions for data fusion. The FFC will also perform redundancy checks with the ACC radar to verify accurate detection.
Refer to DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION . For more information.
- Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR) - The FFC reads traffic sign information and map data information to determine the unconditioned speed limit for the current driving scenario and displaying this speed limit information to the customer. In certain use-case scenarios, the TSR system provides supplementary information relative to conditioned speed limits (e.g., speed limit under specific weather conditions, time, etc.). In addition, the TSR system will provide indications to the customer regarding the presence of overtaking ban (i.e., no passing) signs. For further TSR information. Refer to DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION .
The camera and bracket are not adjustable or repairable and must be replaced if inoperable or damaged.
The FFC is powered by a fused battery feed from the Power Distribution Center (PDC) so that it is only active when ignition is set to the RUN position.
