Cadillac’s Night Vision is an advanced safety feature available in select models, designed to improve visibility and alert drivers to potential hazards in low-light conditions. By utilizing infrared technology, it detects pedestrians, animals, and other warm objects up to 330 feet ahead, displaying them as thermal images on the vehicle’s instrument cluster.
Exploring Cadillac Night Vision Technology
Night Vision uses an infrared camera installed inside your front grille that converts the images it sees into a real-time thermal video, which is displayed on your front screen. Humans and animals produce heat, making them warmer than the area surrounding them, and this ensures they stand out clearly when viewed through an infrared lens.
How It Works
The system employs an infrared sensor located behind the front grille to detect heat signatures. When activated, it displays a thermal image on the instrument panel, highlighting warmer objects in lighter shades. This allows drivers to see beyond the reach of their headlights, enhancing safety during nighttime driving.
Activating Night Vision
This system is always active, but detection only works when it’s dark, your headlights are switched on, and your vehicle is in forward gear or if it’s dark, your vehicle is stationary, and the headlights are switched off. Sunlight increases the temperature of all objects, making it impossible for the infrared sensor to detect warm objects. The sensor also can’t operate if the external temperature is 86°F or higher.
Night Vision Warnings
A yellow box will appear around any detected object that is 30 feet in front of your Cadillac. If you continue to close on the object, the box around the object changes to orange. If the system determines there’s a collision risk, the box around the object changes to red.The system alerts you to potential danger by displaying a stick figure of a walking man surrounded by a red box on your screen. It will also beep loudly eight times, or you’ll feel five seat pulses, depending on the warning settings you chose.This system is just one of the many innovations that make Cadillac one of the safest vehicles to drive.
