Night vision assistant/head-up display
The human eye is one of the most sensitive
sensory 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
pedestrians 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 3 successive brief
flashes of the right headlight (marking light).
The night vision assistant can be turned 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 of day it
projects a clear, easy-to-read, 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, information
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. You can easily configure the head-up
display to your individual seat position.
