or submenu and display messages. 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.
A requirement for the display of the contents
is that each of the functions (navigation,
DISTRONIC PLUS, Traffic Sign Assist) is avail- able in the vehicle and is switched on.
The head-up display allows the driver to see
all of the information without having to take
his eyes off the road.
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 influ-
enced by the following conditions:
R the driver's seat position
R the positioning of the display image
R the general light conditions
R sunglasses with polarisation filters
R wet road surfaces
R blocking of sunlight by objects on the dis-
play 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.
i Vehicles with the head-up display are
equipped with a special windscreen. Should repairs be necessary, have the
windscreen replaced at a qualified special-
ist workshop.
