General notes Reversing camera
:is under a flap in the
boot lid.
Reversing camera :is an optical parking
and manoeuvring aid. It shows the area
behind your vehicle with guide lines in the
COMAND display.
The area behind the vehicle is displayed as a
mirror image, as in the rear-view mirror.
i The text shown in the COMAND display
depends on the language setting. The fol-
lowing are examples of reversing camera
displays in the COMAND display.
Important safety notes The reversing camera is only an aid. It is not a
substitute for your attention to the immediate
surroundings. 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. Under the following circumstances, the
reversing camera will not function, or will
function in a limited manner:
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 camera is 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 lens mists up, e.g. when driv-
ing into a heated garage in winter, causing
a rapid change in temperature
R if the camera lens is dirty or obstructed.
R if the rear of your vehicle is damaged. In this
case, have the camera position and setting checked at a qualified specialist workshop.
The field of vision and other functions of the
reversing camera may be restricted due to
additional accessories on the rear of the vehi-
cle (e.g. licence plate holder, bicycle rack).
The guide lines in the COMAND display show the distances to your vehicle. The distances
only apply to road level.
i The reversing camera is protected from
raindrops and dust by means of a flap.
When the reversing camera is activated,
this flap opens.
The flap closes again when:
R you have finished the manoeuvring proc-
ess
R you switch off the engine
R you open the boot
Observe the notes on cleaning
(Y page 350).
For technical reasons, the flap may remain
open briefly after the reversing camera has been deactivated. 220

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 Online (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 side 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
side cameras (rear wheel view)
R top view and images from the forward-
facing side 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.
Distances measured by PARKTRONIC will
also be optically displayed:
R as red or yellow brackets around the vehi-
cle symbol in top view in split-screen mode
or
R at the bottom right as red or yellow brack-
ets around the vehicle symbol in full-screen
mode
The line thickness and colour of the brackets show how far the vehicle is from an object.
R yellow brackets with thin lines:
PARKTRONIC is active
R yellow brackets with normal lines: an
object is present in close range of the vehi-
cle
R red line: an object is present in the imme-
diate close range of the vehicle
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.
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. 224

display, e.g. if you are driving at a speed
below 60 km/h or above 200 km/h.
Activating ATTENTION ASSIST X
Activate ATTENTION ASSIST using the on-
board computer (Y page 261).
The system determines the attention level
of the driver depending on the setting
selected:
Standard selected: the sensitivity with
which the system determines the attention
level is set to normal.
Sensitive selected: the sensitivity is set
higher. The attention level detected by
ATTENTION ASSIST is adapted accordingly
and the driver is warned earlier.
When ATTENTION ASSIST is deactivated, the
é symbol appears in the multifunction
display in the assistance graphic display.
When ATTENTION ASSIST has been deactiva- ted, it is automatically reactivated after the
engine has been switched off. The sensitivity
selected corresponds to the last selection
activated (standard/sensitive).
Warning in the multifunction display If fatigue or increasing lapses in concentra-
tion are detected, a warning appears in the
multifunction display:
Attention Assist: Attention Assist:
Take a break!
Take a break!
In addition to the message shown in the mul-
tifunction display, you will then hear a warn-
ing tone.
X If necessary, take a break.
X Confirm the message by pressing the a
button on the steering wheel.
On long journeys, take regular breaks in good
time that allow for adequate recuperation. If
you do not take a break and ATTEN-
TION ASSIST continues to detect increasing
lapses in concentration, you will be warned
again after 15 minutes at the earliest. This will Driving systems

users. Night View Assist Plus
General notes In addition to the illumination provided by the
normal headlamps, Night View Assist Plus
uses infrared light to illuminate the road.
Night View Assist Plus camera ;picks up the
infrared light and displays a monochrome
image in the multifunction display. The image
shown in the display corresponds to a road lit
up by main-beam headlamps. This enables
you to see the road's course and any obsta- 232
Driving systemsDriving and parking

cles in good time. When pedestrian recogni-
tion is active, pedestrians recognised by the
system are visually highlighted in colour in the
Night View Assist Plus display with small
frame corners.
In addition, an infrared camera is integrated
into the radiator trim :. The camera helps
detect pedestrians and animals. Observe the notes on cleaning the infrared camera
(Y page 351).
i Infrared light is not visible to the human
eye and therefore does not dazzle. Night
View Assist Plus can therefore remain
switched on even if there is oncoming traf- fic.
Important safety notes Night View Assist Plus is only an aid and is not
a substitute for attentive driving. Do not rely
on the Night View Assist Plus display. You are responsible for the distance to the vehicle in
front, for vehicle speed and for braking in
good time. Drive carefully and always adapt
your driving style to suit the prevailing road
and traffic conditions.
The system may be impaired or may not func-
tion:
R if there is poor visibility, e.g. due to snow,
rain, fog or spray
R if the windscreen is dirty, misted up or cov-
ered, for instance by a sticker, in the vicinity of the camera
R if the thermal imaging camera in the radia-
tor grille is dirty, misted up or covered
R on bends, hilltops or downhill gradients
R at high outside temperatures
Night View Assist Plus cannot display objects
directly in front of or beside the vehicle.
It may be the case that other objects are
marked or highlighted as well as pedestrians
and animals. Pedestrian and animal recognition General notes
Pedestrian or animal recognition may be
impaired or inoperative if:
R pedestrians or animals are partially or
entirely obscured by other objects, e.g.
parked vehicles
R the silhouette of the pedestrian or of the
animal in the Night View Assist Plus display
is incomplete or interrupted, e.g. by pow-
erful light reflections
R pedestrians or animals do not contrast with
the surroundings
R the camera system no longer recognises
pedestrians as persons due to special
clothing or other objects
R pedestrians are not in an upright position,
e.g. sitting, squatting or lying
R animals are not recognised by the system,
e.g. because of their size or shape
Pedestrian and animal recognition is deacti-
vated at temperatures above 32 †. The spot- light function and automatic activation are
then no longer active.

General notes The Driving Assistance PLUS package con-
sists of DISTRONIC PLUS (Y
page 194), Active
Blind Spot Assist (Y page 236) and Active
Lane Keeping Assist (Y page 239).
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. 236
