The infrared lamps switch on
automatically from a speed of about 6 mph
(10 km/h). This means that you do not have
the full visual range while the vehicle is
stationary and cannot check whether Night
View Assist Plus is working.
When you activate Night View Assist Plus,
speed display A in the multifunction display
changes. Speed display A is shown as a bar
at the bottom edge of the multifunction
display. This line is no longer available for
basic menus. You have to deactivate Night
View Assist Plus if you want to change a
setting using the buttons on the multifunction
steering wheel.
Pedestrian recognition

WARNING
Pedestrian recognition may be impaired or
inoperative if:
pedestrians are partially or entirely
R
obscured by objects, e.g. parked vehicles.
the silhouette of the pedestrian in the Night
R
View Assist Plus display is incomplete or
interrupted, e.g. by powerful light
reflections.
pedestrians do not contrast with the
R
surroundings.
pedestrians are not standing upright, for
R
example, if they are sitting, crouching or
lying down.
i Animals are not recognized by pedestrian
recognition.
Night View Assist Plus is able to recognize
pedestrians by typical characteristics, e.g. 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 6 mph
R
(10 km/h).
the surroundings are dark, e.g. when
R
driving outside built-up areas without
street lighting.
If pedestrian recognition is active,
symbol ? appears. If pedestrians are
recognized, they are framed = and thereby
highlighted. If the pedestrian recognition
system has brought a pedestrian to your
attention, look through the windshield 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.
