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 sys-
tem. It can display objects up to a distance of ap-
proximately 1000 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 tempera-
ture difference is too small. The pedestrian and
wild animal marking feature is deactivated at
temperatures above approximately 77 °F (25 °C)
and when it is light outside.
The thermal image detected by the camera is dis-
played 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 120. Make
sure the night vision camera is not covered by
stickers, deposits, or any other obstructions be-
cause this can impair the night vision assist func-
tion. Follow the information about cleaning
=> page 266.

Driver assistance

system. On open roads with no traffic, it func-
tions like a cruise control system. The stored
speed is maintained. When approaching a vehicle
driving ahead, the adaptive speed assist auto-
matically brakes to match that vehicle's speed
and then maintains the set distance as much as
possible. Once the system does not detect a vehi-
cle driving ahead, adaptive speed assist will ac-
celerate up to the set speed.
The additional lane guidance assists the driver
with corrective steering in order to stay in the
lane. You can adjust if the adaptive cruise assist
will provide support with lane guidance
= page 138, Switching lane guidance on and off.
In stop-and-go traffic and in traffic jams, the ve-
hicle may brake to a full stop and then may also
start driving again automatically under certain
conditions.
Applies to: vehicles with efficiency assist: Predic-
tive control can adjust the speed based on traffic
and road conditions > page 133, Predictive con-
trol.


Follow the safety precautions and note the
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and
cameras > page 118.

FCC regulations in the United States and the

Fig. 101 Example: vehicle changing lanes and stationary
vehicle



Fig. 102 Example: driving into a curve
In some situations, the adaptive cruise assist
function is limited and you must assume control
of the vehicle when necessary, for example by ap-
plying the brakes.
— Ifa vehicle that was already detected @ turns
or changes lanes, the adaptive cruise assist will
react to the vehicle ahead of it @).
— When driving into a curve > fig. 102 and out of
a curve, the adaptive cruise assist may react to
a vehicle in the adjacent lane and apply the
brakes. You can override the system by pressing
the accelerator pedal briefly.
— The adaptive cruise assist works with the vari-
ous sensors and cameras in the vehicle.
Vehicles can only be detected once they are
within the area and range covered by the sen-
sors > page 119, fig. 91.
— When driving around tight curves, a vehicle
driving ahead that was previously detected may
no longer be detected, and the adaptive cruise
assist may accelerate unexpectedly.
— The adaptive cruise assist does not react toa
stationary vehicle in the same lane if the sys-
tem expects that you can easily drive around
the stationary vehicle by turning the steering
wheel.
— The adaptive cruise assist may not react to sta-
tionary obstacles, such as the end of a traffic
jam, especially at high speeds.
— The adaptive cruise assist has a limited ability
to detect vehicles that are a short distance
ahead, off to the side of your vehicle, or moving
into your lane.
— Objects that are difficult to detect, such as mo-
torcycles, vehicles with high ground clearance,
or vehicles with an overhanging load, may be
detected late or not detected at all.

your vehicle may brake and remain at a stop if a
vehicle driving ahead stops.
Starting to drive with adaptive cruise assist!)
As long as the message ready to drive and aA is
displayed, your vehicle will begin driving when

the camera behind the windshield, the a indica-
tor light will warn you of the danger.
If you are in the Driver assistance display, the
display @) © fig. 110 and the message Warning!
will also appear. An audio signal will also sound.
Your vehicle will drive more slowly when starting.
This may also occur in some situations when
there is no apparent obstacle.

— Follow the safety precautions and note the
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and
cameras > page 118.
— If the message ready to drive!) appears,
your vehicle will start driving even if there is
an obstacle between your vehicle and the ve-
hicle ahead. To reduce the risk of an acci-
dent, always make sure there are no obsta-
cles between your vehicle and the vehicle
driving ahead.
G) Tips
For safety reasons, adaptive cruise assist is
only active if:

— The driver's safety belt is fastened
— All doors and the hood are closed
— Your vehicle is not stopped for a long period
of time
