230 Driving and Operating
Night Vision System
If equipped, this system can help the driver
see and alert the driver to pedestrians or
large animals ahead of the vehicle beyond
the area lit by the headlamps. A thermal
heat image of the view ahead is displayed
when it is dark enough outside. If a
pedestrian or large animal is detected more
than 25 m (82 ft) away, an amber pedestrian
or animal icon displays and a box appears
around the pedestrian or animal. When the
system detects that the vehicle is
approaching a pedestrian ahead too quickly,
the box changes to red.
With the Front Pedestrian Braking system
turned on, Night Vision provides a red
Head-Up Display (HUD) alert when the
system detects that the vehicle is
approaching a pedestrian ahead too quickly.
In addition, an alert beeps or the Safety
Alert Seat pulses, if equipped. See Front
Pedestrian Braking (FPB) System 0 228.

Warning
The system does not detect all objects or
the vehicle distance from objects. The
system may not provide a warning with
enough time to help avoid a crash.
1. Low-Beam Headlamps
2. High-Beam Headlamps
3. Night Vision System
By selecting a view on the instrument
cluster, the Night Vision image can be
displayed. See Instrument Cluster 0 94. The
Night Vision system can operate only if:
.
The ignition is on.
.
The vehicle is in P (Park) or a
forward gear.
.
It is dark enough outside.
.
The headlamps are on, except when
parked.
Adjust the instrument panel brightness to
make the image no brighter than necessary.
Turn the image off by selecting another
view on the instrument cluster.
Warm objects, such as pedestrians, animals,
and other moving vehicles, should appear
whiter on the Night Vision display. Cold
objects, such as the sky, signs, and parked
vehicles, should appear darker. Night Vision
only shows objects that are warmer or
colder than the surroundings. It does not
detect brake lamps, turn signals, emergency
flashers, traffic lights, or sign information.
Use this system as an aid by occasionally
glancing at the image. Do not stare at the
image or use the image under well-lit
conditions.
