Pedestrian recognition
WARNING
Pedestrian recognition may be impaired or 
inoperative if:
• pedestrians are partially or entirely 
obscured by objects, e.g. parked vehicles.
• the silhouette of the pedestrian in the Night 
View Assist Plus display is incomplete or 
interrupted, e.g. by powerful light 
reflections.
• pedestrians do not contrast with the 
surroundings.
• pedestrians are not standing upright, for 
example, if they are sitting, crouching or 
lying down.
 Animals are not recognized by pedestrian 
recognition.
 Animals are not recognized by pedestrian 
recognition.
Night View Assist Plus is able to recognize pedestrians by typical characteristics, e.g. a silhouette in the shape of a person.
Pedestrian recognition is then switched on 
automatically if:
• Night View Assist Plus is activated.
• you are driving faster than 6 mph 
(10 km/h).
• the surroundings are dark, e.g. when 
driving outside built-up areas without 
street lighting.
If pedestrian recognition is active, symbol 4 appears. If pedestrians are recognized, they are framed 3 and thereby highlighted. If the pedestrian recognition system has brought a pedestrian to your attention, look through the windshield 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.
