You can also use the reversing camera to
select a wide-angle view.
When PARKTRONIC is operational
(Y page 210), a symbol for your own vehicle
appears in the COMAND display. If the
PARKTRONIC warning displays are active,
warning displays ;light up in the COMAND
display in yellow or red respectively.
Object detection The reversing camera can detect moving and
stationary objects. If, for example, a pedes-
trian or another vehicle is detected, these
objects are marked with bars. The system is
only able to detect and mark stationary
objects when your vehicle is moving. When
the vehicle is stationary, moving objects can
be detected and marked.
To ensure that you can use the function, it
must be switched on in COMAND (see the
separate operating instructions). 360° camera (surround view)
General notes The 360° camera is a camera system that
consists of four cameras. The system evaluates images from the fol-
lowing cameras:
R reversing camera
R front camera
R two cameras in the exterior mirrors
The cameras cover the immediate surround-
ings of the vehicle. The 360° camera assists
you, for instance when parking or at exits with reduced visibility.
You can show pictures from the 360° camera
in full-screen mode or in six different split-
screen views on the COMAND display. A split- screen view also includes a top view of the
vehicle. This view is calculated from the data supplied by the installed cameras (virtual
camera).
The six split-screen views are:
R top view and image from the reversing cam-
era (130° viewing angle)
R top view and image from the front camera
(130° viewing angle without displaying the
maximum steering wheel angle)
R top view and enlarged rear view
R top view and enlarged front view
R top view and images from the rear-facing
mirror cameras (rear wheel view)
R top view and images from the forward-
facing mirror cameras (front wheel view)
When the function is active and you shift the
transmission from Dor Rto N, the guidelines
in the COMAND display are hidden.
When you change between transmission
positions Dand R, you see the previously
selected front or rear view.
Important safety notes The 360° camera is only an aid and may show
a distorted view of obstacles, show them
incorrectly or not at all. The 360° camera is
not a substitute for attentive driving.
The responsibility for safe manoeuvring and
parking remains with you. Make sure that
there are no persons, animals or objects in
range while manoeuvring and parking. Driving systems
221Driving and parking Z

You are always responsible for safety, and
must always pay attention to your surround-
ings when parking and manoeuvring. This
applies to the areas behind, in front of and
beside the vehicle. You could otherwise
endanger yourself and others.
The 360° camera will not function or will
function only in a limited manner:
R if the doors are open
R if the exterior mirrors are folded in
R if the boot lid is open
R in heavy rain, snow or fog
R at night or in very dark places
R if the cameras are exposed to very bright
light
R if the area is lit by fluorescent bulbs or LED
lighting (the display may flicker)
R if the camera lenses mist up, e.g. when
driving into a heated garage in winter, caus- ing a rapid change in temperature
R if the camera lenses are dirty or covered.
Observe the notes on cleaning
(Y page 347)
R if the vehicle components in which the
cameras are fitted are damaged. In this
event, have the camera position and setting
checked at a qualified specialist workshop.
Do not use the 360° camera in this case. You
could otherwise injure others or damage
objects when parking the vehicle.
The guide lines in the COMAND display show the distances to your vehicle. The distances
only apply to road level.
i The camera in the rear area is protected

General notes The Active Driving Assistance PLUS package
consists of DISTRONIC PLUS (Y page 191),
Active Blind Spot Assist (Y page 233) and
Active Lane Keeping Assist (Y page 236).
Active Blind Spot Assist General notes
Active Blind Spot Assist monitors the areas
on either side of the vehicle that are not visi-
ble to the driver with two lateral, rear-facing
radar sensors. A warning display in the exte-
rior mirrors draws your attention to vehicles
detected in the monitored area. If you then
switch on the corresponding turn signal to
change lanes, you will also receive a visual
and audible collision warning. If a risk of side impact is detected, corrective braking may
help you avoid a collision. Active Blind Spot
Assist evaluates the free space in the direc-
tion of travel and to the side before making a
course-correcting brake application. For this, Active Blind Spot Assist uses the forward-
facing radar sensors.
Active Blind Spot Assist supports you from a
speed of approximately 30 km/h.
Important safety notes
Active Blind Spot Assist is only an aid and is
not a substitute for attentive driving. Driving systems
233Driving and parking Z

Warning display
:
Warning display
Active Blind Spot Assist is not operational at
speeds below approximately 30 km/h. Vehi-
cles in the monitoring range are then not indi-
cated.
If a vehicle is detected within the monitoring
range of Blind Spot Assist at speeds above
30 km/h, warning lamp :on the corre-
sponding side lights up red. This warning
always lights up when a vehicle enters the
blind spot monitoring range from behind or
from the side. When you overtake a vehicle,
the warning only occurs if the difference in
speed is less than 12 km/h.
If you select the reverse gear, Active Blind
Spot Assist is not operational.
The brightness of the warning lamps is auto-
matically adapted to the brightness of the
surroundings. When Active Blind Spot Assist is activated,
grey radar waves propagating backwards
appear next to the vehicle in the assistance
display in the multifunction display. Above a
speed of 30 km/h, the colour of the radar
waves in the assistance display changes to
green ;. Active Blind Spot Assist is then
ready for use. Visual and acoustic collision warning
If you switch on the turn signals to change
lanes and a vehicle is detected in the side
monitoring range, you receive a visual and
acoustic collision warning. You will then hear
a double warning tone and red warning
lamp :flashes. If the turn signal remains on,
detected vehicles are indicated by the flash-
ing of red warning lamp :. There are no fur-
ther warning tones.
Course-correcting brake application
If Active Blind Spot Assist detects a risk of a
side impact in the monitoring range, a course- correcting brake application is carried out.
This is designed to help you avoid a collision. G
WARNING
A course-correcting brake application cannot always prevent a collision. There is a risk of an
accident.
Always steer, brake or accelerate yourself,
especially if Active Blind Spot Assist warns
you or makes a course-correcting brake appli-
cation. Always maintain a safe distance at the sides. If a course-correcting brake application
occurs, red warning lamp
:flashes in the
exterior mirror and a dual warning tone
sounds. In addition, display ;underlining
the danger of a side collision appears in the
multifunction display.
In very rare cases, the system may make an
inappropriate brake application. A course-
correcting brake application may be interrup- Driving systems
235Driving and parking Z

ted at any time if you steer slightly in the
opposite direction or accelerate.
The course-correcting brake application is
available in the speed range between
30 km/h and 200 km/h.
Either a course-correcting brake application
appropriate to the driving situation, or none at all, may occur if:
R there are vehicles or obstacles, e.g. crash
barriers, on both sides of your vehicle
R a vehicle approaches too closely on the
side
R you have adopted a sporty driving style with
high cornering speeds
R you clearly brake or accelerate
R a driving safety system intervenes, such as
ESP ®
or PRE-SAFE ®
Brake
R ESP ®
is deactivated
R a loss of tyre pressure or a defective tyre is
detected
Activating Active Blind Spot Assist
X Make sure that Active Blind Spot Assist is
activated in the on-board computer
(Y page 259).
X Turn the key to position 2in the ignition
lock.
Warning lamps :in the exterior mirrors
light up red for approximately 1.5 second s.
Grey radar waves propagating backwards
appear next to the vehicle in the assistance
display in the multifunction display. Active Lane Keeping Assist General notes
Active Lane Keeping Assist monitors the area
in front of your vehicle by means of camera
system :at the top of the windscreen. Var-
ious different areas to the front, rear and side
of your vehicle are also monitored with the aid
of the radar sensor system. Active Lane Keep-
ing Assist detects lane markings on the road
and can warn you before you leave your lane
unintentionally. If you do not react to the
warning, a lane-correcting application of the
brakes can bring the vehicle back into the
original lane.
If you select km kmin the Display unit
Display unit
Speed-/odometer
Speed-/odometer function on the on-board
computer (Y page 261), Active Lane Keeping
Assist is activated starting at a speed of
60 km/h. If the miles milesdisplay unit is selected,
the assistance range begins at 40 mph.
Important safety notes
If you fail to adapt your driving style, Active
Lane Keeping Assist can neither reduce the
risk of an accident nor override the laws of
physics. Active Lane Keeping Assist cannot
take account of road and weather conditions. It may not recognise traffic situations. Active Lane Keeping Assist is only an aid. You are
responsible for the distance to the vehicle in
front, for vehicle speed, for braking in good
time, and for staying in lane.
Active Lane Keeping Assist cannot continu-
ously keep your vehicle in its lane. 236
