Pedestrian det ect ion depends on the differ-
ence in temperat ure between the person and
the background. Pedestrians may not be de-
tected if the temperature difference is too
smal l. The pedestrian highlighting feature is

and when it is light outside.
A WARNING
- -
Night vision assistant has limits and can-
not always detect pedestrians . Always pay
close attention to traffic and the area
around your vehicle even when night vision
assist ant is switched on.
- Night vision assistant can only warn
about people located within the visual
range of the infrared camera. The visual
range corresponds to the image in t he in-
strument cluster display.
- Night vision assistant may not detec t
people and highlight them if
- they are not in an upright posit ion, for
example if they are sitt ing, crouching
or lying down and/or
- if the outline in the disp lay is incom-
plete or interrupted, for example be-
cause the perso n is part ially hidden by
a parked vehicle.
@ Tips
- Pedestrian detection and the pedestrian
warm ing are limited to objects that are
detected as pedest rians. The system
does not detect animals. Even though
the shape and warmth radiated by each
object detected is evaluated, the system
does have li mitat ions and it can give in-
correct warnings .
- For t echnical reasons, the image pauses
in split second intervals.
