CONTROLS
to activate the Brake Assistant function, the
brakes must be applied sufficiently quickly and
forcefully.
If there is a risk of collision, the system may also
assist with brake intervention.
When the vehicle is traveling at a low speed, the
vehicle may come to a complete stop.
The brake intervention can be interrupted by
stepping on the accelerator pedal or by actively
moving the steering wheel.
The system's ability to detect objects may be
limited in some circumstances. Refer to the in‐
formation in this Owner's Manual regarding the
limitations of the system and actively intervene
as warranted.

Principle
Night Vision with pedestrian and animal detec‐
tion is a night vision system.
An infrared camera scans the area in front of the
vehicle and issues a warning if it detects pedes‐
trians and animals on the street.

The system detects warm objects that are simi‐
lar in shape to human beings or animals. If nec‐
essary, the thermal image can be displayed on
the Control Display.
