RDMS and winter
« on: October 11, 2021, 08:12:55 AM »
I found today that the RDMS switched off as it said the windscreen wasn’t clear.

It was clear, but perhaps the area over the camera was cold and still misting up on the outside/inside?

I was expecting it to switch itself back on after a while, but it looks like you have to manually do this.

Later in the journey I pushed the safety button and was able to switch it back on.

Have people had similar through last winter?

Thank goodness my eyes do not switch off when windscreen mists up.....  these 'safety' features seem flaky to say the least.

Something I've had in my Mk3 (only a couple of times in 6 years of ownership) in certain cold/damp conditions is condensation inside the sensor pod. The screen itself is clear both inside and outside, but when you look into the pod from the outside you can see condensation in front of the camera. On the Mk 3 it affects things like the auto-dipping lights and maybe other things as well. There's supposed to be a dashboard warning if these systems aren't functioning, but I've never seen it. It clears itself as the car warms up and the water finds it's way out through the tiny drain hole at the bottom of the pod.

Maybe this is the way to switch off the pesky RDBMS. A bit of gaffer tape over the camera.

What is the RDMS...?

Road departure mitigation system, uses the camera to pick up white lines ( and other irregularities in the road it seems ) - least said the better, especially given the state of English roads. ( England seems to be the poor relation to Scotland and Wales when it comes to decent roads ).

I turn RDMS off every journey start.

It picks up too many other road surface blemishes and wobbles the steering wheel.

Let's be careful out there !

I have RDMD set to Delayed rather than Early or Normal. Is this best setting?.

I don’t see these options in 5. They belong to another Jazz? - see below

Models with Display Audio
1. Press the HOME button, then select Settings.
2. Select Vehicle.
3. Select Driver Assist System Setup.
4. Select Road Departure Mitigation Setting.
5. Select from the options.
Normal (default): Steering control starts from inside the lane edge.
Wide: Steering control starts from outside the lane edge.
Warning Only: The system only provides a BRAKE message, but does not apply steering or braking.
Narrow: Use for driving on narrow roads.

They're not on my MY21 Jazz either - the only setting I have for RDMS is either early, normal or delayed - mine was always set to delayed, but still goes crazy when driving down very narrow country roads.

+1, useless piece of equipment and downright dangerous on UK country roads.

I'm getting the impression that the NCAP offices have a similar scheme to our old YOPS

Don't blame the equipment for the quality of your UK roads...
The question remains: is the equipment dangerous or are your roads dangerous?

If nothing goes right, go left!
