Corrected entry: In the scene in the slaughterhouse, after Danny Glover removes the predator's mask, the shots from the predator's point of view are still in thermal vision. It was seen in the first movie that it is the predator's mask (controlled by its computer on its left arm) that allows it to see like this and that without it it sees in a different red vision. This was stated on the audio commentary on the newly released special edition of 'Predator'. (01:17:45 - 01:18:55)

Correction: The Predator always sees in thermal vision - in the first film, the mask acted to make the temperature gradients more obvious - the jungle being so hot that the Predator has a certain difficulty seeing normally. In Los Angeles, even with the heatwave, it's not quite as hot, so the Predator has less problems.

You should also remember that Danny Glover took the Predator's mask off when they were in a freezer, so the Predator's vision would not be impaired.
