when the vehicle is being driven at speeds
of at least 10 km/h. This means that you
do not have the full visual range while sta-
tionary and cannot check whether Night
View Assist Plus is working.
Pedestrian recognition
G
WARNING
Pedestrian recognition may be impaired or
inoperative if:
R
pedestrians are partially or entirely
obscured by objects, e.g. by parked vehi-
cles.
R
the silhouette of the pedestrian in the Night
View Assist Plus display is incomplete or
interrupted, e.g. by powerful light reflec-
tions.
R
pedestrians do not contrast with the sur-
roundings.
R
pedestrians are not in an upright position,
e.g. sitting, squatting or lying.
i
Animals are not recognised by pedestrian
recognition.
Night View Assist Plus is able to recognise
pedestrians by typical characteristics, e.g. a
silhouette in the shape of a person.
Pedestrian recognition is then switched on
automatically if:
R
Night View Assist Plus is activated.
R
you are driving faster than about 10 km/h.
R
the surroundings are dark, e.g. when driv-
ing outside built-up areas without street
lighting.
If pedestrian recognition is active, sym-
bol ? appears. If a pedestrian is now recog-
nised, they are framed = and thereby high-
lighted. If the pedestrian recognition system
has brought a pedestrian to your attention,
look through the windscreen to evaluate the
situation. The actual distance to objects and
pedestrians cannot be gauged accurately by
looking at a screen.
It may be the case that objects are highlighted
as well as pedestrians.
