To keep the camera sensor in the
best condition, you should observe
the followings: 
• Do not place any reflective  objects
(i.e. white paper, mirror) over the
dashboard. Any light reflection
may prevent the Driver Attention
Warning (DAW) system from
functioning properly.
• Pay extreme caution to keep the camera sensor dry.
• Do not disassemble the camera assembly, or apply any impact on
the camera assembly.
