Night vision assistant/head-up display

At the press of a button.

Turning night into day.

The human eye is one of the most sensitive sen-

sory organs. But even it can sometimes miss

something. For example, when it is dark or you

have been dazzled. We are doing our best to help

you in these situations. The optional night vision

assistant with highlighting of detected pedestri-

ans records the area in front of the vehicle using

a thermal imaging camera and highlights any

identified pedestrian located between approx. 15

and 90 metres away with yellow highlighting in

the image. Should the system detect an imminent

collision between the vehicle and an identified

pedestrian, then the colour of the highlighting

will change to red and a warning tone will sound.

In addition, the person is illuminated with the

right-hand headlight 3 x in quick succession

(marker light). The night vision assistant can

be switched on or off via a button on the rotary

light switch. Pedestrian highlighting, warning

signals and image contrast are configured in the

car menu. The optional head-up display forms a

useful complement to the night vision assistant.

At any time it quickly projects a clear, full-colour

virtual image beyond the windscreen. The image

content is portrayed directly within the driver’s

field of vision to minimise any driver distraction.

The head-up display therefore contributes to

greater traffic safety. You can configure image

content via the car menu. As well as displaying

current driving speed and navigation data, infor-

mation from the driver assistance systems and

speed limit display can also be shown. When

the night vision assistant with highlighting of

detected pedestrians is activated and a potential

danger is detected, a warning symbol appears

in the head-up display. The head-up display can

be easily adjusted to your seating position.
