Night Vision Assist - Audi A7 2023 Owner's Manual

Driving information
The acceleration measurement was calibrated
using the largest possible summer tire/rim
combination available at the factory. Using a
different tire/rim combination could affect
the accuracy of the measurement.
Using the acceleration measurement
Applies to: vehicles with acceleration measurement
Requirement: the acceleration measurement
must be opened.
» Bring the vehicle to a full stop.
» Select and confirm the desired speed or dis-
tance.
» Wait briefly until the BMJ symbol appears in the

Night vision assist
Descri
Applies to: vehicles with night vision assist
Night vision assist helps you when it is dark by
using an infrared camera to monitor the area in
front of your vehicle, within the limits of the sys-
tem. It can display objects up to a distance of ap-
proximately 1,000 feet (300 m).
Pedestrian and wild animals are detected by
measuring the temperature difference between
the object and the background. Pedestrians and
wild animals will not be detected if the tempera-
ture difference is too small. The pedestrian and
wild animal marking feature is deactivated at
temperatures above approximately 77 °F
(425 °C) and when itis light outside.
The thermal image detected by the camera is dis-
played in the instrument cluster. Warm areas
generally appear lighter and cold areas appear
darker.
The camera for the night vision assist is located
in the vehicle's radiator grille * page 122. Make
sure the night vision camera is not covered by
stickers, deposits, or any other obstructions be-
cause this can impair the night vision assist func-
tion. Follow the information about cleaning
= page 279.
— Observe the safety precautions and note the
limits of the assist systems, sensors, and
cameras > page 119.
— Night vision assist can only detect pedes-
trians and wild animals located within the
range of the infrared camera.
— Night vision assist cannot detect pedes-
trians or wild animals and mark them if:
= They are not in an upright position, for ex-
ample if they are sitting or lying down
and/or
~The silhouette in the display appears in-
complete or interrupted, for example be-
cause the pedestrian is partially behind a
vehicle or an animal is partially covered by
tall grass.
— Never attempt to swerve around animals if
doing so would endanger you or other road
users.
—Even though the system evaluates the
shape and heat given off by all detected ob-
jects, there are limits to the system. There
may be false warnings.
—For technical reasons, the image pauses in
split second intervals.
Switching on and off
