do not have the full visual range while sta-

Pedestrian recognition
G WARNING
Pedestrian recognition may be impaired or
inoperative if:
pedestrians are partially or entirely
R
obscured by objects, e.g. by parked vehi-
cles.
the silhouette of the pedestrian in the Night
R
View Assist Plus display is incomplete or
interrupted, e.g. by powerful light reflec-
tions.
pedestrians do not contrast with the sur-
R
roundings.
pedestrians are not in an upright position,
R
e.g. sitting, squatting or lying.
i
Animals are not recognised by pedestrian
recognition.
Night View Assist Plus can recognise pedes-
trians using typical characteristics, e.g. when
there is a silhouette in the shape of a person.
Pedestrian recognition is then switched on
automatically if:
Night View Assist Plus is activated.
R
you are driving faster than about 10 km/h.
R
the surroundings are dark, e.g. when driv-
R
ing outside built-up areas without street
lighting.
If pedestrian recognition is active, sym-
bol ? appears. If a pedestrian is now recog-
nised, they are framed = and thereby high-
lighted. If the pedestrian recognition system
has brought a pedestrian to your attention,
look through the windscreen to evaluate the
situation. The actual distance to objects and
pedestrians cannot be gauged accurately by
looking at a screen.
It may be the case that objects are highlighted
as well as pedestrians.

misted up or dirty on the inside or outside, the
