Functional limitations
The system may not be fully functional in the
following situations:
▷
In heavy fog, rain, sprayed water or snowfall.
▷
In tight curves.
▷
If the camera view field or the front wind‐
shield are dirty or covered.
▷
When driving toward bright lights.
▷
In the case of vehicles with insufficiently visi‐
ble tail lamps.
▷
In the case of partially covered vehicles.
▷
Up to 10 seconds after the start of the en‐

Prewarning sensitivity
Depending on the set prewarning time, this may
result in increased false warnings.
Camera
The camera is located near the base of the mir‐
ror.
Keep the windshield in the area behind the in‐
terior rear view mirror clean and clear.
Night Vision with pedestrian
detection
The concept
Night Vision with pedestrian detection is a night
vision system.
An infrared camera records the area in front of
the vehicle and displays the image on the Con‐
trol Display.
The picture is a heat image. The system has an
integrated pedestrian detection function that
detects pedestrians and cyclists. Warm objects
that are similar in shape to human beings are
detected by the system.
Personal responsibility
Night Vision cannot replace the driver's
personal judgment of the visibility conditions
and the traffic situation. The view ahead and the
actual visibility conditions must always be the
basis on which the vehicle speed is adjusted;
otherwise, there is a risk to road safety.◀
Heat image
The image shows the heat radiated by objects
in the field of view of the camera.
Warm objects have a light appearance and cold
objects, a dark appearance.
The ability to detect an object depends on the
temperature difference between the object and
the background and on the level of heat radiation
emitted by the object. Objects that are similar in
temperature to the environment or that radiate
very little heat are difficult to detect.
