ABOUT NIGHT VISION
If your vehicle has this available feature, Night Vision displays a thermal image to help you see beyond your headlamps and
How It Works
- Night Vision uses an infrared sensor in your vehicle’s lower grille to detect pedestrians and animals ahead of you. When it’s dark enough and conditions are ideal, the system is designed to detect objects up to 330 feet (100 meters) away.
- Night Vision will display an infrared camera feed in your instrument cluster when you select it. The system is designed to display warmer detected objects, such as pedestrians or large animals, as lighter on the Night Vision image.
- An easy way to remember this is that white means hot and darker colors mean cool.
- You can select Night Vision as the instrument cluster view at any time. When it is dark enough, it will highlight pedestrians and animals when:
- Your vehicle is in DRIVE/a FORWARD gear and the headlamps are on.
- Your vehicle is in PARK and the headlamps are off.
- If a pedestrian or large animal is detected more than approximately 30 feet in front of the vehicle, you’ll see a yellow box will appear around the displayed animal or pedestrian.
- Depending on your vehicle, an amber pedestrian/large animal crossing icon will appear on the instrument panel and Head-Up Display (if equipped).
- On some vehicles, you may also see a yellow box around the highlighted object, which will transition to an amber box and then a red one as you approach.
- On some vehicles, if the system detects that you are approaching a pedestrian/large animal too rapidly ahead much to quickly, the yellow box will change to red and a red “Collision Alert” will flash in the windshield and Head-Up Display (if equipped). You’ll also hear eight high-pitched front beeps or five left and right Safety Alert Seat pulses (depending on your Alert Type menu option).
- On some vehicles, you may also see a yellow box around the highlighted object, which will transition to an amber box and then a red one as you approach.
- You can turn these alerts on or off in the Settings menu of your infotainment system
† . On some vehicles, you may have to customize alerts using the Forward Collision Alert settings instead of Night Vision settings.
- Night Vision will not activate braking or steering. It is designed to alert you of pedestrians and large animals detected ahead.
- On some vehicles, you may adjust the brightness and contrast of the Night Vision image. You may also dim or brighten the entire Driver Information Center display, including Night Vision, using the interior light switch (depending on your model).
Safety or driver assistance features are no substitute for the driver’s responsibility to operate the vehicle in a safe manner. The driver should remain attentive to traffic, surroundings and road conditions at all times. Visibility, weather and road conditions may affect feature performance. Read the vehicle Owner’s Manual for more important feature limitations and information.
