In tight curves.
An infrared camera records the area in front of
the vehicle and displays the image on the Con‐
trol Display.
Functional limitations
The system may not be fully functional in the
following situations:
The picture is a heat image. The system has an
integrated pedestrian detection function that
detects pedestrians and cyclists. Warm objects
that are similar in shape to human beings are
detected by the system.
▷
▷
▷
When sensors are dirty or iced over.
In heavy fog, rain or snowfall.
On bumpy road surfaces such as gravel
roads.
Personal responsibility
Night Vision cannot replace the driver's
personal judgment of the visibility conditions
and the traffic situation. The view ahead and the
actual visibility conditions must always be the
basis on which the vehicle speed is adjusted;
otherwise, there is a risk to road safety.◀
Limits of ultrasonic measurement
The detection of objects can reach the physical
limits of ultrasonic measurement, for instance:
▷
▷
▷
With tow bars and trailer hitches.
With thin or wedge-shaped objects.
Heat image
With elevated, protruding objects such as
ledges or cargo.
▷
With objects with corners and sharp edges.
Ultrasound sensors
The image shows the heat radiated by objects
in the field of view of the camera.
Warm objects have a light appearance and cold
objects, a dark appearance.
The ultrasounds sensors used to measure park‐
ing spaces are located in the side turn signals.
The ability to detect an object depends on the
temperature difference between the object and
the background and on the level of heat radiation
emitted by the object. Objects that are similar in
temperature to the environment or that radiate
very little heat are difficult to detect.
To ensure full operability:
▷
▷
Keep the sensors clean and free of ice.
When using high-pressure washers, do not
spray the sensors for long periods and main‐
tain a distance of at least 12 in/30 cm.
Night Vision with pedestrian
detection*
The concept
Night Vision with pedestrian detection is a night
vision system.
