Night vision assist
Applies to: vehicles with night vision assist
Night vision assist helps you when it is dark by using an infrared camera to monitor the area in front of your vehicle, within the limits of the system. It can display objects up to a distance of approximately 1,000 feet (300 m). Pedestrian and wild animals are detected by measuring the temperature difference between the object and the background. Pedestrians and wild animals will not be detected if the temperature difference is too small. The pedestrian and wild animal marking feature is deactivated at temperatures above approximately 77 °F (425 °C) and when itis light outside. The thermal image detected by the camera is displayed in the instrument cluster. Warm areas generally appear lighter and cold areas appear darker. The camera for the night vision assist is located in the vehicle's radiator grille page 129. Make sure the night vision camera is not covered by stickers, deposits, or any other obstructions because this can impair the night vision assist function. Follow the information about cleaning = page 285.
— Observe the safety precautions and note the limits of the assist systems, sensors, and cameras page 126. >
Driving information
= Night vision assist can only detect pedestrians and wild animals located within the range of the infrared camera.
= Night vision assist cannot detect pedestrians or wild animals and mark them if: — They are not in an upright position, for example if they are sitting or lying down and/or
~The silhouette in the display appears in‘complete or interrupted, for example because the pedestrian is partially behind a vehicle or an animal is partially covered by tall grass.
— Never attempt to swerve around animals if doing so would endanger you or other road users.
Om — Even though the system evaluates the
shape and heat given off by all detected objects, there are limits to the system. There may be false warnings.
—For technical reasons, the image pauses in split second intervals.
Switching on and off Applies to: vehicles with night vision assist The system can be switched on and off in the MMI page 130

Marking and warning Applies to: ve ith night vision assist
Fig. 102 Instrument cluster: pedestrian marking and warning
Highlighting detected pedestrians and wild animals Within the limits of the system, the night vision assist can detect pedestrians and wild animals that are between approximately 32 feet (10 m) and 295 feet (90 m) in front of the vehicle and within the detection zone. Animal recognition is not active within highly developed areas. The system only detects large wild animals such as deer. When it is dark outside and the low beams are switched on, detected objects are marked in yellow @, within the limits of the system. Pedestrian and wild animal warning This system limits are based on the vehicle speed and steering angle. Pedestrian and wild animal warning encourages you to pay more attention. If there are pedestrians or wild animals in front of your vehicle that could pose a danger, the system will direct your attention to this. ~ Pedestrians or wild animals are highlighted in
red in the instrument cluster @) and the [i or BB symbol turns on @. ~When the head-up display’ is switched on, the additional indicator [ll or IJ appears.
~A hime will sound if something is detected. ~ If the night vision assist thermal image is replaced by another display (such as the on-board computer), the red ll or I indicator tight will appear if there is a pedestrian or wild animal warning.
Driving information
The ‘iki symbol will appear when pedestrian and wild animal detection is not available. Marking light* To direct the driver's attention to a pedestrian, the headlights can flash on the pedestrian when there is a pedestrian warning. This occurs at speeds above approximately 35 mph (60 km/h) if you are outside of illuminated areas and no detected vehicles are shown. The marking light is not used for wild animals. The high beam assistant* controls the marking light*> page 52.
