iThe infrared headlamps only come on
above a speed of approximately 6 mph
(10 km/h). Therefore, when you are at a
standstill, you do not have a complete view
and cannot check the function of the Night
View Assist Plus.
Pedestrian detection
The Night View Assist Plus detects
pedestrians by means of specific
characteristics, e.g. a human silhouette.
Pedestrian detection is activated when
Rthe Night View Assist Plus is switched on
Rthe vehicle speed is above approximately
6 mph (10 km/h)
Rdriving in darkness, e.g. on highways
without road lighting
:Night View Assist Plus image;Detected pedestrian=Frame?Symbol for active pedestrian detection
When pedestrian detection is active,
symbol ? appears in the Night View Assist
Plus image. Once a pedestrian is detected,
that pedestrian is highlighted by frame =.
When you have been made aware of a
pedestrian, assess the situation by looking
through the windshield. The actual distance
between your vehicle and objects or
pedestrians cannot be assessed properly via
a screen display.
Other objects apart from pedestrians may
also be highlighted.
GWarning!
The pedestrian detection may be impaired or
unavailable when
Rpedestrians are obstructed fully or in part
by other objects such as parking vehicles
Rthe silhouette in the Night View Assist Plus
image is displayed incomplete or
interrupted, e.g. by significant light
reflection
Ra pedestrian’s silhouette is not rich enough
in contrast compared to the background
Rpedestrians are not in erected position but,
for example, sit, crouch down, or lie
iAnimals cannot be detected.
Dirty or fogged-up windshield
The Night View Assist Plus image is
diminished when the windshield in front of the
camera is
Rdirty
Rfogged up on the outside
Rfogged up on the inside
GWarning!
Please do not forget that your primary
responsibility is to drive the vehicle. A driver’s
attention to the road must always be his/her
primary focus when driving. For your safety
and the safety of others, stop before trying to
remove window fogging or cleaning the
windshield in front of the Night View Assist
Plus camera.
Bear in mind that at a speed of just 30 mph
(approximately 50 km/h), your vehicle is
covering a distance of 44 feet
(approximately 14 m) every second.
XRemoving condensation: Check settings
of the climate control and change them, if
necessary (Y page 181).
XSwing the camera cover downward
(Y page 263).
