2026 GMC YUKON NIGHT VISION ENHANCES NIGHT DRIVING

The available system uses an infrared sensor located in the lower grille below the driver-side headlamp 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 Driver Information Center (DIC) 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.

Vehicles equipped with available Night Vision* may offer the video feed at all times, night or day. However, the Night Vision system will alert you to detected objects if it’s dark enough out and your headlamps are on when your vehicle is in a FORWARD gear. If you’re in PARK and your headlamps are off, Night Vision will only detect objects.

With Night Vision, a thermal heat image of the view ahead is displayed when it is dark enough outside. If a pedestrian or large animal is detected more than 82 feet (25 meters) away, an amber pedestrian or animal icon displays in the DIC and a box appears around the pedestrian or animal. When the system detects that the vehicle is approaching a pedestrian or large animal ahead too quickly, the box changes to red. 

Once the available Night Vision system detects the vehicle is approaching an object too quickly and Front Pedestrian Alert is turned on, the system can provide a red alert in the Head-Up Display (HUD) on the vehicle's windshield, if equipped. In addition, an audible alert sounds or the Safety Alert Seat pulses.

You can choose to enable or disable these alerts in the Settings menu of your center display under “Collision Detection Systems.” On some vehicles, you may have to customize alerts using the Forward Collision Alert* settings instead of Night Vision* settings.

Warm objects, such as pedestrians, animals and other vehicles, should appear whiter on the Night Vision display. Cold objects, such as the sky and trees, should appear darker. Night Vision only shows objects that are warmer or colder than the surroundings. It does not detect brake lights, turn signals, emergency flashers, traffic lights or sign information.
