on.
Cleaning the headlights*. The headlight washer
system* operates only when the low beam head lights are on. If you move the lever to position
@ , the headlights and the night vision assist
camera* are washed in intervals.
A WARNING
-The rain sensor is only intended to assist the
driver . The driver is still responsible for
manually switching the wipers on according
to the visibility conditions.
- The windshield may not be treated with wa
ter-repelling windshield coating agents. Un
favorable conditions, such as wetness, dark
ness or low sun, can result in increased
glare, which increases the risk of an acci
dent. Wiper blade chatter is also possible.
- Properly functioning windshield wiper
blades are required for a clear view and safe
driving ~
page 50, Replacing windshield
wiper blades.
(Jd) Note
- If there is frost, make sure the windshield
wiper blades are not frozen to the wind
shield. Switching on the windshield wipers
when the blades are frozen to the wind
shield can damage the wiper blades.
- Prior to using a car wash, the windshield
wiper system must be switched off (lever in position 0). This prevents unintentional
switching on and damage to the windshield
wiper system.
(Di Tips
- The windshield wipers switch off when the
ignition is turned off. You can activate the
windshield wipers after the ignition is
switched back on by moving the windshield
wiper lever to any position.
- Worn or dirty windshield wiper blades result
in streaking . This can affect the rain sensor
so
function. Check your windshield wiper
blades regularly.
- The washer fluid nozzles of the windshield
washer system are heated at low tempera
tures when the ignition is on.
- When stopping temporarily, such as at a
traffic light, the speed of the windshield
wipers automatically reduces by one level.
Cleaning windshield wiper blades

A pp lies to: ve hicles w ith night v isio n ass ist
The night vision assist can detect, highlight and,
if necessary, warn about pedestrians and large
wild animals.
Night vision assistant with pedestrian and wild
animal detection assists you in darkness 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 approximately 1000 feet (300 meters) away . The heat image
detected by the camera is shown in th e instru
ment cluster display . Warm areas appear lighter
and cold areas appear darker.

Display in the instrument cluster/head-up
display*
If there are pedestrians or wild animals in an
area in front of you r vehicle that is classified as
critical, the system will direct your attention to
this :
- Pedestrians or wild animals are highlighted in
red and the corresponding symbol. or.
turns on
¢fig. 109.
-There is also a tone.
The area classified as critical is based on the vehi
cle speed and the steering wheel angle. Pedes
trian and wild animal warning encourages you to
pay more attention.
If the night vision assist image is replaced by an
other display (such as the on-board computer),
the red indicator light . or. will appear if
there is a pedestrian or wild animal warning
¢ fig. 110 .
If the head-up display* is switched on and the
night vision assist content is activated, . or.
will appear in the head-up display*.
Marking light*
To direct the driver's attention to a pedestrian,
the headlights can flash on the pedestrian three
times in a row when there is a pedestrian warn
ing.
This happens at speeds above approximately
35 mph (60 km/h) when you are traveling out
side of well-lit areas and when flashing the head lights will not create glare for a vehicle detected
in the oncoming lane . The marker light* is con
trolled by the high beam assist*
c::;, page 44,
Headlight assistant .
The marking light is not used for wild animals.
Night vision assist
General information
Applies to : vehicles wit h night vision assist
Fig. 111 Front of the vehicle : night vis ion assist ant ca mera
The following situations may affect the function
of the night vision assist system:
- Poor visibility such as snow, rain, fog or heavy
spray
- Dirty lens on the night vision assist camera
Make sure the night vision assist camera
c::;, fig. 111 is not covered by stickers, deposits or
any other obstructions because that can affect
the camera function . For information on clean
ing, refer to
c::;, page 193.
Pedestrian and wild animal detection depends on
the difference in temperature between the per
son/wild animal and the background area. Pedes
trians/wild animals may not be detected if the difference is too small. Pedestrian and wild ani
mal marking and the marker light* are deactivat
ed at temperatures above approximately 77 °F
(25 °C) and when it is light outside . When the
night vision assistant image is selected in the in
strument cluster display, the
II symbol appears
in the upper right.

your vehicle when night vision assist is switch
ed on. The driver is always responsible for cor
rectly assessing the traffic situation.
- Night vision assist can only warn about peo
ple and wild animals located within the visu
al range of the infrared camera. The visual
range corresponds to the image in the in
strument cluster display .
