Camera and Radar Information
(if fitted)
Many of the driver assistance systems
use a camera unit placed behind the
top of the windscreen, as wells as radar
units placed behind the centre of the
front bumper and to the rear left and
right-hand side of the vehicle.
Limitations
The following information lists some
of the conditions caused by external
influences that can result in limitations
of the camera and radar.
Modifications
Items placed on the inside or outside
of the windscreen, in front of or around
the camera unit or on the bumpers
around the radar units*, could interfere
with the operation of camera and
radar functions. This may result in the
operation of some driver assistance
functions being reduced, providing
incorrect function responses or being
deactivated.
*This does not only apply to
permanent modifications, but also
vinyl wrapping, placement of stickers
or paint modifications to the front and
rear bumper radar areas.
High Temperature
To protect the electronics inside
camera and radar units from being
affected by high ambient temperatures,
they may not be available for
approximately 15 minutes after the
engine is started until the temperature
has fallen sufficiently.
Windscreen or Bumper Damage
A damaged windscreen or front/rear
bumper may result in the operation of
some driver assistance functions being
reduced, providing incorrect function
responses or being deactivated.
If a scratch, crack or stone chip appears
on the windscreen in front of any of the
window for the camera unit, covering
an area of approximately. 0.5 × 3.0 mm
or more, then the windscreen should be
replaced.
It is not recommended to repair
cracks, scratches or stone chips in the
camera unit area, instead, the entire
windscreen should be replaced.
Only Lotus approved replacement
windscreens or windscreen wiper must
be fitted.
After windscreen replacement, the
camera unit must be recalibrated to
ensure the functionality of all driver
assistance options that are camera
dependent. If necessary, contact your
Lotus Retailer for further assistance.
Bumper damage should be assessed by
a Lotus Retailer to determine if radar
performance is being affected.
