If the warnings are off, the telltales, chimes, and
warning messages will all be off. Pedestrians and
animals can still be detected by the system, but
there will be no warnings.
The Night Vision alert status telltale will
be gray when the warnings are
suppressed. The telltale will also turn
gray to indicate that the alerts are
suppressed due to environmental factors (e.g.
daylight hours, external temperature is greater
than 86°F (30°C)) or if the gear selector is in
REVERSE. When the Night Vision alerts are active,
the telltale will be green

The system can detect people 4 ft (1.25 m) tall or
greater in the upright position. The system can also
detect animals that are four-legged and 3 ft (1 m)
tall or greater in the upright position.
The detection distance for the system is between
26 ft (8 m) and 328 ft (100 m) from the front of the
vehicle.
The system may not be able to detect pedestrians
or animals in the following situations:

Pedestrian/animal is outside of the detection
range

Pedestrian/animal is fully or partially covered

Pedestrian/animal does not reach the minimum
detection height
NOTE:
Other objects on the road that meet the height/
shape/temperature (e.g. sun exposure) of pedes -
trians/animals may be detected and classified as
targets.
WARNING!

Do not jerk the steering wheel in response to
a warning.

Never attempt to swerve around animals if
doing so would endanger you or other drivers
on the road.

Do not stare at the image while driving. You
could crash and you or others could be
injured.

The Night Vision system only provides alerts to
objects of interest and cannot serve as a
substitute for the driver’s personal judgment.
The warnings are meant to direct your atten -
tion to the detected objects, but the Night
Vision system does not automatically brake
the vehicle and may not provide a warning
with enough time to help avoid a crash.

Warnings are only provided if a pedestrian or
large animal is detected by the system.

It is always the driver’s responsibility to be
attentive of road, traffic, and weather condi -
tions, vehicle speed, distance to the vehicle
ahead; and, most importantly, brake opera -
tion to ensure safe operation of the vehicle
under all road conditions. Your complete
attention is always required while driving to
maintain safe control of your vehicle.
WARNING!
WARNING!

Night Vision can only detect pedestrians and
animals located within the range of the
infrared camera.

Night Vision may not detect pedestrians or
animals and highlight them if:

They are not in an upright position, for
example if they are sitting or lying down, or
if the pedestrian is riding a bicycle

The figure in the display appears incom -
plete, for example because the pedes -
trian or animal is partially behind a vehicle

The pedestrian/animal is not directly
ahead in the coverage area
