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)

played in the instrument cluster. Warm areas
generally appear lighter and cold areas appear
darker.

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
