MERCEDES-BENZ S CLASS 2016 Owners Manual

Head-up display
General notes The head-up display projects information from
the navigation system and the driver assistance
system above the dashboard into the driver's
field of vision. The head-up display allows the
driver to see all of the information without hav-
ing to take their eyes off the road.
A requirement for the display of the contents is
that the following functions are available in the
vehicle and are switched on: R
Cruise control R
DISTRONIC PLUS R
Traffic Sign Assist R
Navigation
Important safety notes The head-up display is only an aid and is not a
substitute for attentive driving.
Speed limits and overtaking restrictions are not
always correctly displayed. Traffic signs always
have priority over the Traffic Sign Assist display.
The visibility of the head-up display is influenced
by the following conditions: R
the driver's seat position R
the positioning of the display image R
the general ambient light R
sunglasses with polarization filters R
wet roads R
blocking of sunlight by objects on the display
cover
In the event of extreme sunlight, sections of the
display may fade. This can be reversed by
switching the head-up display off and on again.

ped with a special windshield. Should repairs
be necessary, have the windshield replaced at
