Driving and Operating 311
Adjust the instrument panel
brightness to make the image
no brighter than necessary.
Turn the image off by
selecting another view on 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, 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 too quickly, the
amber pedestrian icon and box
turns red, and a red flashing
icon,
~, 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 brake
the vehicle. 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.

312 Driving and Operating
Warning (Continued)
.If the person or animal is
moving too quickly
through the field of view,
such as a bicyclist.
.If the pedestrian is
wearing certain types of
clothing.
.If headlamps are off,
except when parked.
.If the outside temperature
is higher than 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.
Be ready to take action and
apply the brakes. For more
information, see Defensive
Driving 0235. Keep the
Night Vision sensor clean
and in good repair. Pedestrian detection may not
be available in high outside
temperatures. An amber icon,
*, displays. 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.
Keep the system sensor clean
by activating the rear window
washer when it is dark enough
for the system to operate.
If the Night Vision image still
looks blurry, use a soft wet
cloth to gently clean the
sensor camera lens and dry
thoroughly. The sensor is
behind the lower front grille
below the driver side
headlamp.
The camera must also be
aligned to work correctly.
If the camera needs adjustment, see your dealer.
Do not attempt to adjust the
camera yourself.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.
