or size to pedestrians, including shadows.
This is normal operation and the vehicle
does not need service. To override
Automatic Braking, firmly press the
accelerator pedal, if it is safe to do so.
Automatic Braking can be disabled through
vehicle settings.To view available settings
from the infotainment screen, touch Settings
> Vehicle > Collision/Detection Systems >
Front Pedestrian Detection.
{Warning
Using the FPB system while towing a
trailer could cause you to lose control of
the vehicle and crash. Turn the system to
Alert or Off when towing a trailer.
Cleaning the System
If FPB does not seem to operate properly,
cleaning the outside of the windshield in
front of the rearview mirror may correct the
issue.
Night Vision System
If equipped, this system can help the driver
see and alert the driver to pedestrians or
large animals ahead of the vehicle beyond
the area lit by the headlamps. A thermal
heat image of the view ahead is displayed
when it is dark enough outside. If a
pedestrian or large animal is detected more
than 25 m (82 ft) away, a yellow box
appears around the pedestrian or large
animal. With the vehicle moving, when the
system detects a pedestrian or large animal
may approach or cross the vehicle's path, an
amber pedestrian or animal icon displays
and an amber box appears around the
identified object. When the system detects
that the vehicle is approaching a pedestrian
or large animal ahead too quickly, the
yellow or amber box changes to red.
With the Pedestrian Braking system turned
on, Night Vision provides a red Head-Up
Display (HUD) alert when the system
detects that the vehicle is approaching a
pedestrian ahead too quickly. In addition, an
alert beeps or the Safety Alert Seat pulses,
if equipped. See Front Pedestrian Braking
(FPB) System 0290.
{Warning
The system does not detect all objects or
the vehicle distance from objects. The
system may not provide a warning with
enough time to help avoid a crash.

2. High-Beam Headlamps
3. Night Vision System
By selecting a view on the instrument
cluster, the Night Vision image can be
displayed. SeeInstrument Cluster 0107. The
Night Vision system can operate only if:
.The ignition is on.
.The vehicle is in P (Park) or a
forward gear.
.It is dark enough outside.
.The headlamps are on, except when
parked.
Night Vision Adjustment Controls Turn the image off by selecting another
view on the instrument cluster. The night
vision image brightness and contrast can be
adjusted individually using the touchscreen
to the left of the instrument cluster.
Warm objects, such as pedestrians, animals,
and other moving vehicles, should appear
whiter on the Night Vision display. Cold
objects, such as the sky, signs, and parked
vehicles, should appear darker. Night Vision
only shows objects that are warmer or
colder than the surroundings. It does not
detect brake lamps, turn signals, emergency
flashers, traffic lights, or sign information.
Use this system as an aid by occasionally
glancing at the image. Do not stare at the
image or use the image under well-lit
conditions.
{Warning
Do not stare at the image while driving
as this might cause important objects
ahead not to be seen. You could crash,
and you or others could be injured.
When a pedestrian or large animal is
detected, a yellow box will be drawn around
it. With the vehicle moving when the
pedestrian or animal may be in the vehicle path, an amber box displays around the
pedestrian or animal on the Night Vision
display and an amber pedestrian icon,
~,
or animal icon,
!, displays on the
instrument cluster. This pedestrian icon is
also shown on the Head-Up Display (HUD).
When the system detects the vehicle is
approaching a pedestrian or large animal
too quickly, the amber pedestrian icon or
animal icon and amber box turns red, and a
red flashing icon,
~or!, displays on the
HUD with rapid beeping or pulsing of the
Safety Alert Seat, if equipped.
System pedestrian icons, beeps, and (if
equipped) Safety Alert Seat pulses can be
set to Off through vehicle settings by
turning off the Front Pedestrian Braking
system. To view available settings from the
infotainment screen, touch Settings >
Vehicle > Collision/Detection Systems >
Front Pedestrian Detection.
{Warning
The Night Vision system does not
automatically apply the brakes. It does
not provide alerts unless it detects a

pedestrian or large animal. The system
may not detect pedestrians, including
children, or animals:
.If they are less than 25 m (82 ft) away.
.If they are not directly ahead in the
sensor coverage area, fully visible,
standing upright, or part of a group.
.If the person or animal is moving too
quickly through the field of view, such
as a bicyclist.
.If the pedestrian is wearing insulated
clothing.
.If headlamps are off, except when
parked.
.If the outside temperature is above
30° c (86° f).
.Due to poor visibility, including in
heavy fog, rain, or snow.
.If the sensor is blocked by dirt, snow,
rain, or ice.
.When traveling faster than 112 km/h
(70 mph).(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
Be ready to steer and apply the brakes.
For more information, seeDefensive
Driving 0207. Keep the Night Vision
sensor clean and in good repair.
Night Vision Detection Unavailable and icon
\is temporarily displayed when the Night
Vision system is unable to detect
pedestrians or animals. It may be caused by
high ambient temperatures or other
conditions. The message can be dismissed
and the system does not need service.
In rain, snow, or fog the image may not be
clear and the direction of the road ahead
may not be seen. In more severe weather
conditions, the image may be unclear and
unusable. The system does not need service.
Clean the night vision camera by activating
the front windshield washer five times. The
system will automatically try to clean itself
if a blockage is detected. If the Night Vision
image still looks blurry, use a soft wet cloth
to gently clean the sensor camera lens and
dry thoroughly. The night vision camera is
behind the lower front grille below the
driver side headlamp. If the vehicle displays SERVICE NIGHT
VISION, do not attempt to adjust camera
yourself. See your dealer.
Side Blind Zone Alert (SBZA)
If equipped, the SBZA system is a
lane-changing aid that assists drivers with
avoiding crashes that occur with moving
vehicles in the side blind zone, or blind spot
areas. When the vehicle is in a forward gear,
the left or right side mirror display will light
up if a moving vehicle is detected in that
blind zone. If the turn signal is activated and
a vehicle is also detected on the same side,
the display will flash as an extra warning
not to change lanes. Since this system is
part of the Lane Change Alert (LCA) system,
read the entire LCA section before using this
feature.
Lane Change Alert (LCA)
If equipped, the Lane Change Alert (LCA)
system is a lane-changing aid that can assist
drivers with avoiding lane change crashes
with moving vehicles in the side blind zone,
or blind spot areas or with vehicles rapidly
approaching these areas from behind. When
a vehicle is detected in the blind zone, the
LCA warning display will light up in the
corresponding side mirror and will flash if
