Front Camera Picture Interpretation
Hi,
Rookie Corvette owner. The last new car I purchased was a 2002 Pontiac Grand AM GT. Still have it. Classic soon.
Anyway the rear camera and front cameras are new for me. The rear camera picture is easy to interpret i.e. the lines.
I am a little confused with the front camera lines.
What does the red line indicate? Stop. Don't move forward
anymore?
Any help will be appreciated
Thanks. Please drive safe

Does this help? http://www.corvetteblogger.com/2015/...ras-in-action/
I'd use a cardboard box as a test curb. Put the red line in the top view on the edge of the box, then get out to see how far away you are from the box. Or get someone else to tell you. Shouldn't take but a few minutes to learn where to stop based on the top view guidelines.
Synthesizing the top view from the other two is a neat feature.

Good question, they could be calibrated different with each type.
If the image is created from two different field of views the system is seeing thereby creating a virtual down view should it matter or do those lines need to be adjusted?

Do the front cameras offer any guidance at all as far as left and right clearance? For example when entering your garage will it help to judge if you are lined up?

The top down view is only generated for the overlap area in the center. You could put a stripe on the pavement a safe distance from the door jamb to line up with the guide lines or the center of the pattern. I'd check it very carefully though.
The system should work accurately as long as the distance between the cameras, the angle of the cameras with respect to each other, and the height off the floor are the same.
I have a tennis ball hanging where I park with a stripe on the wall beyond it. If the ball is centered on the steering wheel with the stripe directly behind it, I've got one inch clearance between the passenger side mirror and the door jamb. I stop when the ball touches the windshield.
I prefer to be looking outside the vehicle when moving, not at a display on the dash.
