Night View Assist
Function of Night View Assist
With the aid of camera 2 , Night View Assist
helps you to recognize the course of the road or
obstacles in the dark. The multifunction display
then shows a monochrome image of the sur‐
rounding area in front of the vehicle. Infrared
camera 1 helps detect pedestrians and ani‐
mals.
Night View Assist is only an aid. The driver is
responsible for the distance to the vehicle in
front, for vehicle speed, for braking in good time
and for staying in lane.
% As infrared light is not visible to the human
eye, Night View Assist can remain activated
when there is oncoming traffic.
The infrared headlamps switch on in the
dark from speeds of approximately 5 mph
(10 km/h). This means that, while station‐
ary, you do not have the full visual range and
cannot check whether Night View Assist is
working.
System limitations
Night View Assist cannot display objects directly
in front of or directly next to the vehicle. It may
be the case that objects are highlighted as well
as pedestrians or animals.
The system may be impaired or may not function
in the following instances:
R
in poor visibility, e.g. snow, rain, fog or heavy
spray.
