Function of Night View Assist

With the aid of camera , Night View Assist helps you to recognise the course of the road or obstacles in the dark. The multifunction display then shows a monochrome image of the surrounding area in front of the vehicle. Infrared camera helps detect pedestrians and animals.

Night View Assist is only an aid. The driver is responsible for the distance to the vehicle in front, for vehicle speed, for braking in good time and for staying in lane.

As infrared light is not visible to the human eye, Night View Assist can remain activated when there is oncoming traffic.

The infrared headlamps switch on in the dark from speeds of approximately 10 km/h. This means that, while stationary, you do not have the full visual range and cannot check whether Night View Assist is working.

System limitations

Night View Assist cannot display objects directly in front of or directly next to the vehicle. It may be the case that objects are highlighted as well as pedestrians or animals.

The system may be impaired or may not function in the following instances:
  • in poor visibility, e.g. snow, rain, fog or heavy spray.

  • the windscreen is dirty in the vicinity of the camera.

  • the camera is misted up, damaged or covered.

  • the infrared camera in the radiator grille is damaged, dirty, misted up or covered.

  • on bends, on hilltops or in dips.

  • at high ambient temperatures.
