Night Vision Assist Indicators

Night Vision

These are Night Vision Assist Indicator symbols. The first is a gray scale image of lane markers (broken and straight lines) and a quarter or half moon. Depending on the manufacturer, it will simply indicate that the system is on and functioning or that the system is unavailable! You will need to check your owner’s manual. If it is seen in green, the system is on and active active. In yellow/amber/orange the system is malfunctioning and should not be relied on.

• Before continuing, is one of these truly your symbol?? If yes, read on below.
• Otherwise, you can return to our main Picture Symbols page and scan again!

These next indicators feature an image inside the somewhat familiar triangle. Those images are either a running deer or a walking man and are meant to indicate either a wild animal or a pedestrian has been detected. They may appear in red or, with Jeep, in yellow/amber/orange.

An infrared camera is used to detect the presence of a warm blooded animal or person. The system is dependent on a temperature differential and becomes unusable above about 75 degrees F. The system is deactivated in these conditions as well as in daylight.

Yellow/amber/orange indicates the detection of a person or animal while red indicates a possible collision.

Finally, this symbol will be seen when the system is unavailable. It cannot recognize persons or animals reliably owing to the prevailing ambient conditions (outside temperature and/or brightness).
