Night�Vision�detects�people�and�determines�their�position�and�distance�from�the�vehicle.�Taking�into
account�the�driving�speed�and�steering�angle,�the�system�calculates�whether�there�is�a�potential�risk
and�displays�a�warning�sign�(early�warning)�in�the�instrument�cluster�and�in�the�Head-Up�Display,�if
present.
In�critical�situations�a�warning�signal�also�sounds�(acute�warning).
The�warning�threshold�values�are�also�dependent�on�whether�the�person�or�the�animal�is�moving�or
standing�still.�This�is�highlighted�in�the�following�graphic.
