In addition, thermal imaging camera
0043is
integrated in the radiator grill. The camera
helps detect pedestrians and animals.
Observe the notes on cleaning the thermal
imaging camera and cleaning the windshield
(Y page 544).
Important safety notes Night View Assist Plus is only an aid and is not
a substitute for attentive driving. Do not rely
on the Night View Assist Plus display. You are responsible for the distance to the vehicle in
front, for vehicle speed and for braking in
good time. Drive carefully and always adapt
your driving style to suit the prevailing road
and traffic conditions.
The system may be impaired or may not func-
tion if:
R if there is poor visibility, e.g. due to snow,
rain, fog or spray
R if the windshield is dirty, fogged up or cov-
ered, for instance by a sticker, in the vicinity
of the camera
R if the thermal imaging camera in the radia-
tor grill is dirty, fogged up or covered
R on bends, hilltops or downhill gradients
R at high outside temperatures
Night View Assist Plus cannot display objects
directly in front of or beside the vehicle. The
actual distance to objects and pedestrians
cannot be gaged accurately by looking at a
screen.
It may be the case that other objects are
marked or highlighted as well as pedestrians
and animals. Pedestrian and animal recognition General notes
Pedestrian or animal recognition may be
impaired or inoperative if:
R pedestrians or animals are partially or
entirely obscured by other objects, e.g.
parked vehicles
R the silhouette of the pedestrian or of the
animal in the Night View Assist Plus display
is incomplete or interrupted, e.g. by pow-
erful light reflections
R pedestrians or animals do not contrast with
the surroundings
R the camera system no longer recognizes
pedestrians as persons due to special
clothing or other objects
R pedestrians are not in an upright position,
e.g. sitting, squatting or lying
R animals are not recognized by the system,
e.g. because of their size or shape
Pedestrian and animal recognition is deacti-
vated at temperatures above 90 ‡ (32 †). The spotlight function and automatic delayed
switch-off are then no longer active.
