Ú page 61.
DETECTION RANGE
The system can detect people 4 ft (1.25 m) tall or greater
in the upright position. The system can also detect
animals that are four-legged and 3 ft (1 m) tall or greater
in the upright position.
The detection distance for the system is between 26 ft
(8 m) and 328 ft (100 m) from the front of the vehicle.
The system may not be able to detect pedestrians or
animals in the following situations:
Pedestrian/animal is outside of the detection range
Pedestrian/animal is fully or partially covered
Pedestrian/animal does not reach the minimum detec-
tion height
NOTE:
Other objects on the road that meet the height/shape/
temperature (e.g. sun exposure) of pedestrians/animals
may be detected and classified as targets.
SERVICE THE NIGHT VISION SYSTEM
When service conditions are present, the following fault
messages may appear in the instrument cluster display
when the vehicle is placed in the ON position.
If "Night Vision Unavailable Sensor Blocked" appears in
the instrument cluster display, make sure the camera is
clear of snow, ice, mud, dirt or other debris. The camera is
located in the upper fascia/bumper, inside the driver side
grille slot. Clean the camera using a soft wet cloth or by
pressing the Clean Camera button in the Uconnect
system. If the message continues to appear after cycling
the ignition, see an authorized dealer.
WARNING!
Do not jerk the steering wheel in response to a
warning.
Never attempt to swerve around animals if doing so
would endanger you or others.
Do not stare at the image while driving. You could
crash and you or others could be injured.
The Night Vision system only provides alerts to
objects of interest and cannot serve as a substitute
for the driver’s personal judgment. The warnings are
meant to direct your attention to the detected
objects, but the Night Vision system does not auto-
matically brake the vehicle and may not provide a
warning with enough time to help avoid a crash.
Warnings are only provided if a pedestrian or large
animal is detected by the system.
It is always the driver’s responsibility to be attentive
of road, traffic, and weather conditions, vehicle
speed, distance to the vehicle ahead, and most
importantly, brake operation, to ensure safe opera-
tion of the vehicle under all road conditions. Your
complete attention is always required while driving to
maintain safe control of your vehicle.
WARNING!
Night Vision can only detect pedestrians and animals
located within the range of the infrared camera.
Night Vision may not detect pedestrians or animals
and highlight them if:
They are not in an upright position, for example
if they are sitting or lying down, or if the pedes-
trian is riding a bicycle
The figure in the display appears incomplete, for
example because the pedestrian or animal is
partially behind a vehicle
The pedestrian/animal is not directly ahead in
the coverage area
The pedestrian/animal is part of a group
The pedestrian is wearing certain types of
clothing
The pedestrian/animal is moving too quickly
through the field of view
The sensor is blocked by dirt, rain, snow, or ice
