Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) Aiming: Notes
NOTE:
- Forward sensing camera (FSC) aiming procedure stores the camera shot angle in the FSC by mid-drive aiming (dynamic aiming), which is performed by driving the vehicle for a predetermined time under specific conditions or by stationary aiming (static aiming), which is performed by having the FSC to read a target used for aiming.
- Perform the FSC aiming if any of the following procedure is performed.
- FSC replacement
- Windshield replacement
- If an obstruction on the windshield or camera lens is blocking the scene in front of the vehicle, the target used for aiming cannot be read-in and aiming will not be performed correctly. Perform the following procedure before performing the aiming.
- Verify that there is no water, mud, soiling or sticker adhesion on the windshield, and that there is nothing on the camera lens such as dust or soiling.
- Driving the vehicle for a total of 5 to 10 min under the following conditions is necessary to complete mid-drive aiming (dynamic aiming). However, driving the vehicle while matching the conditions does not have to be continuous.
- Drive the vehicle at a vehicle speed of 40 km/h or more
- Drive the vehicle on a straight road (road with a turning radius of 300 m or more)
- Drive the vehicle on a road with lane markers and structures (buildings and signs)
- Drive the vehicle on a road with a level surface (not rough or inclined roads)
- mid-drive aiming (dynamic aiming) may not complete in an environment where any of the following conditions continues.
- Inclement weather caused by snow, rain, or fog
- Windshield washer is being used or wipers are not used during rain
- Exhaust gas from the vehicle ahead, sand or snow, or smoke and water-spray caused by steam from manholes rise up from the road
- Vehicle is driven with significantly worn tires
- Vehicle is driven downhill or on extremely rough or uneven roads
- Area is dark such as at nighttime or evening, early morning, and in a tunnel or indoor parking
- Headlight lens is dirty or its optical axis is deviated, or the headlights are not bright enough
- Vehicle is subjected to strong light (driving towards the sun or high-beams) from the vehicle front
- Vehicle is driven with tire chains or a spare tire equipped
- Vehicle is driven downhill or on extremely rough or uneven roads
- Perform stationary aiming (static aiming) when mid-drive aiming (dynamic aiming) is not performed.
