System Operation

The night vision module sends the processed image output directly to the cluster via a dedicated cable.

The active safety control module communicates via serial data to the night vision camera module from the BCM and Motion Sensor Manager which the night vision camera module uses to turn on if the conditions are correct (ambient light and temperature) and perform detections (vehicle path and speed). The night vision camera module will send a message to the active safety control module if a warning or alert is required. Warnings and alerts are posted on the cluster or Head-Up Display, depending on vehicle equipment.

System pedestrian icons, beeps and (if equipped) Safety Alert Seat pulses can be set to Off through vehicle personalization by turning off the Front Pedestrian Braking system. If the personalization is set to Off, only highlighting will occur on night vision image. The night vision system does not automatically brake the vehicle.

Additionally, all the video signal circuits are twisted and shielded to prevent any interference that may lead to a loss of video signal resolution and cause a degraded video image. These circuits must not be spliced/removed from shielding or will cause image degradation.
