Night View Assist
Fig. 118: Night View Assist thermal image
The Porsche Night View Assist has the following
functions:
– Display of the thermal image
– Pedestrian and animal warning
The thermal imaging camera of the Night View As-
sist in the front of the vehicle provides a thermal
image of the surroundings, which can be displayed
in the Car & Info display in the instrument cluster.
The system can detect persons and animals be-
yond the area illuminated by the headlights and
highlight these in the camera image.
Because the thermal imaging camera is only sen-
sitive in the heat radiation range, the image in the
camera may differ significantly from the image as
perceived by the human eye. Night View Assist de-
tects persons and animals when it is sufficiently
dark and at an ambient temperature below 82 °F
(28 °C).
An impending collision or driving dangerously
close past persons will trigger a warning within the
system limits. In this case, the system warns the
driver visually and acoustically. The camera image
is displayed with the person marked in red. On ve-
hicles with Porsche Dynamic Light System Plus,
the endangered person flashes in order to en-
hance recognition.
Prior to an impending collision with wild animals
outside urban areas, a warning is also issued with-
in the limits of the system. In this case, the system
warns the driver visually and acoustically. The
camera image with the animal marked in red is al-
so displayed in order to support the driver in locat-
ing the danger.
WARNING
Lack of attention and
failure to detect objects
via Night View Assist
The increased safety that is provided must not in-
duce you to take greater risks with your safety.
Risk of accidents!
e
The following points must be observed:
– The Night View Assist is a support system and
cannot prevent a collision under all circumstan-
ces. Responsibility for braking in time and for
lighting appropriate to the situation during driv-
ing always lies with the driver.
– Not all pedestrians or animals can be detected
in all cases! Always keep the direction of travel
in your field of view.
– Environmental conditions such as heavy rain,
snowfall or icing can impair operation of the
camera and therefore detection of collision
risks.
– The Night View Assist pedestrian and animal
warning can trigger unintentional warnings in
complex driving situations owing to internal
limitations of the system.
CAUTION
Night View Assist limited
or not available.
Shocks or damage to the bumper, e.g. through
parking collisions, can move the camera. This may
impair performance of the system.

recommends an authorized Porsche dealer, as
they have trained technicians and the neces-
sary parts and tools.
Pedestrian warning
Fig. 119: Pedestrian warning on instrument cluster
If the system detects a possible collision with a
pedestrian, it can warn the driver by means of a
warning tone and an appropriate display in the in-
strument cluster. The pedestrian warning is output
if a pedestrian is standing or moving onto the driv-
ing lane. On vehicles with Porsche Dynamic Light
