Driving systems

Night View Assist Plus

General notes
In addition to the illumination provided by the
normal headlamps, Night View Assist Plus uses
infrared light to illuminate the road. Night View
Assist Plus camera ; picks up the infrared light
and displays a monochrome image in the multi-
function display. The image shown in the display
corresponds to a road lit up by high-beam head-
lamps. This enables you to see the road's course
and any obstacles in good time. When pedes-
trian recognition is active, pedestrians recog-
nized by the system are visually highlighted in
color in the Night View Assist Plus display with
small frame corners.
In addition, an infrared camera is integrated into
radiator trim :. The camera helps detect
pedestrians and animals. Observe the notes on
cleaning the infrared camera (
i
Infrared light is not visible to the human eye
and therefore does not glare. Night View
Assist Plus can therefore remain switched on
even if there is oncoming traffic.
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 driv-
ing style to suit the prevailing road and traffic
conditions.
