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:
R
if Night View Assist Plus is activated
R
if you are driving faster than approximately
10 km/h
R
the surroundings are dark, e.g. when driv-
ing outside built-up areas without street
lighting
If pedestrian recognition is active, sym-
bol ? appears. If pedestrians are detected,
they are highlighted with framing =. 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 windscreen
If the windscreen in front of the camera is
misted up or dirty on the inside or outside, the
Night View Assist Plus display is affected.
