freightliner M2 Plus 2023 - Detroit Assurance Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)

Driver Facing Camera
If equipped, the driver facing camera records the
interior view in the case of a safety critical event.
Rain/Light Sensor
This rain/light sensor detects rain, snow, or other
precipitation on the windshield and can determine the
amount of ambient light.
If the windshield wipers are set to intermittent
operation, they automatically start clearing the
windshield when the RLS detects precipitation. For
additional windshield wiper and headlight information,
see
Chapter 4.
If the headlight switch is set to the automatic or ’A’
position, the low beam headlights and vehicle
exterior lights turn on when the RLS registers a low
level of ambient light. This could happen due to
sunset, fog, smoke, or any other event that
decreases light levels.
Bendix Forward Facing Camera
IMPORTANT: In order for the forward facing
camera to operate properly, the windshield area
in front of the camera must be clean,
unobstructed, and not be damaged in any way.
An optional Bendix forward facing 5G camera that
works in tandem with the Detroit Assurance MPC2
camera is an available option on the vehicle. If
equipped, the Bendix camera appears as shown in
Fig. 6.4.
The Bendix camera records in color and can capture
high-quality video in low light conditions. For more
information about the Bendix camera, see the
SafetyDirect by Bendix section in this chapter.
