A motor vehicle includes a body defining a passenger compartment and having opposing driver and passenger sides. The vehicle includes driver and passenger side mirrors. The driver side mirror has a sweep angle (α) and an elevation angle (γ). The passenger side mirror has a sweep angle (β). The side mirrors are separated from each other by a distance (D). An adjustable driver seat has a height (H). An electronic controller, in response to position signals inclusive of angles (α), (β), and (γ), the distance (D), and the height (H), calculates a three-dimensional (3D) driver head position of a driver of the vehicle, and thereafter uses the 3D driver head position to improve performance of a driver assist system device. Functions of the controller may be implemented as a method or recorded on a computer readable medium for execution by a processor.
