Detroit Assurance Vehicle
Cameras
IMPORTANT: The windshield must be clean,
unobstructed, and without damage for the
proper operation of the multipurpose camera
and rain/light sensor.
Multipurpose Camera 2 (MPC2)
NOTE: The eCascadia is not equipped with a
driver facing camera.
The multipurpose camera 2 bracket that comes with
Detroit Assurance can hold a driver facing camera
(DFC), multipurpose camera 2 (MPC2), and rain/light
sensor (RLS). The unit is mounted against the
windshield. See
The MPC2 works with the radar system to support
multiple Detroit Assurance features. It is important for
the driver to keep the windshield clean and
unobstructed in order for the MPC2 to operate
properly.
Rain/Light Sensor
This rain/light sensor (RLS) 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
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 eCascadia. If
equipped, the Bendix camera appears as shown in
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
