Warning
Do not stare at the image while driving
as this might cause important objects
ahead not to be seen. You could crash,
and you or others could be injured.
When a pedestrian or large animal is
detected, an amber box displays around the
pedestrian or animal on the Night Vision
display and an amber pedestrian icon,
~,
or animal icon,
!, displays on the
instrument cluster. This pedestrian icon is
also shown on the Head-Up Display (HUD).
When the system detects the vehicle is
approaching a pedestrian too quickly, the
amber pedestrian icon and box turns red,
and a red flashing icon,
~, displays on the
HUD with rapid beeping or pulsing of the
Safety Alert Seat, if equipped.
System pedestrian icons, beeps, and (if
equipped) Safety Alert Seat pulses can be
set to Off through vehicle settings by
turning off the Front Pedestrian Braking
system. To view available settings from the
infotainment screen, touch Settings >
Vehicle > Collision/Detection Systems >
Front Pedestrian Detection.

Warning
The Night Vision system does not
automatically brake the vehicle. It does
not provide alerts unless it detects a
pedestrian or large animal. The system
may not detect pedestrians, including
children, or animals:
.
If they are less than 25 m (82 ft) away.
.
If they are not directly ahead in the
sensor coverage area, fully visible,
standing upright, or part of a group.
.
If the person or animal is moving too
quickly through the field of view, such
as a bicyclist.
.
If the pedestrian is wearing certain
types of clothing.
.
If headlamps are off, except when
parked.
.
If the outside temperature is higher
than 30 °C (86 °F).
.
Due to poor visibility, including in
heavy fog, rain, or snow.
.
If the sensor is blocked by dirt, snow,
rain, or ice.

Warning (Continued)
Be ready to take action and apply the
brakes. For more information, see
Defensive Driving 0 176. Keep the Night
Vision sensor clean and in good repair.
Pedestrian detection may not be available in
high outside temperatures. An amber icon,
*, displays. The system does not need
service.
In rain, snow, or fog the image may not be
clear and the direction of the road ahead
may not be seen. In more severe weather
conditions, the image may be unclear and
unusable. The system does not need service.
Keep the system sensor clean by activating
the rear window washer when it is dark
enough for the system to operate. If the
Night Vision image still looks blurry, use a
soft wet cloth to gently clean the sensor
camera lens and dry thoroughly. The sensor
is behind the lower front grille below the
driver side headlamp.
The camera must also be aligned to work
correctly. If the camera needs adjustment,
see your dealer. Do not attempt to adjust
the camera yourself.
