Vision system for vehicle
First Claim
1. A vision system for a vehicle, said vision system comprising:
- an imaging device having an imaging sensor, said imaging sensor having a field of view exterior the vehicle;
a camera controller;
a display device having a display element, said display device operable to display information for viewing by a driver of the vehicle;
a display controller;
at least two user inputs selectively actuatable by a user;
wherein said imaging device communicates an image signal to said display device via a link; and
wherein said display controller is operable to selectively apply at least two voltage levels in response to at least two user inputs and wherein said camera controller is operable to adjust a function of said imaging device in response to a respective one of the at least two voltage levels;
wherein said display controller is operable to affect said image signal and wherein said camera controller monitors said link and adjusts a function of said imaging device in response to a detection of an affected image signal, and wherein said display controller affects said image signal in response to said at least two user inputs, and wherein said display controller affects said image signal by disabling a video termination at said display device.

Abstract
A vision system for a vehicle includes an imaging device having an imaging sensor with a field of view exterior the vehicle, a camera controller, a display device and a display controller. The display device is operable to display information for viewing by a driver of the vehicle. The imaging device communicates an image signal to the display device via a link. The display controller may affect the image signal, such as in response to a user input, and the camera controller may adjust a function of the imaging device in response to a detection of the affected image signal. The vision system may adjust an image displayed by the display device in response to a signal from an auxiliary sensing system of the vehicle, such as a distance sensing system of the vehicle that is operable to determine a distance to an object exterior the vehicle.
