Introduction
For a full view illustration of the instrument
cluster, see “Instrument cluster”
(Y page 32).
GWarning!

Rwarning/indicator lamps
Rmalfunction/warning messages
Rfailure of any systems
Driving characteristics may be impaired.
If you must continue to drive, do so with added
caution. Contact an authorized Mercedes-
Benz Center as soon as possible.
GWarning!
HYBRID vehicles: It is imperative that you read
the HYBRID Supplemental Operating
Instructions included in your vehicle literature
portfolio. You may otherwise not receive all
necessary safety information and warning for
the operation of your vehicle.
The language setting for the multifunction
display can be changed via COMAND
(Y page 94).

Image on multifunction display
When you switch on the Night View Assist
Plus, the dial for the speedometer changes on
the multifunction display. The speedometer
dial is shown as a bar on the lower edge of
the multifunction display. The line for main
menus is no longer available. If you would like
to change a setting using the steering wheel
buttons, you must first switch off the Night
View Assist Plus.
Pedestrian detection
The Night View Assist Plus detects
pedestrians by means of specific
characteristics, e.g. a human silhouette.
Pedestrian detection is activated when
Rthe Night View Assist Plus is switched on
Rthe vehicle speed is above approximately
6 mph (10 km/h)
Rdriving in darkness, e.g. on highways
without road lighting
:Night View Assist Plus image;Detected pedestrian=Frame?Symbol for active pedestrian detectionASpeedometer dial
When pedestrian detection is active,

Plus image. Once a pedestrian is detected,
that pedestrian is highlighted by frame =.
When you have been made aware of a
pedestrian, assess the situation by looking
through the windshield. The actual distance
between your vehicle and objects or
pedestrians cannot be assessed properly via
a screen display.
Other objects apart from pedestrians may
also be highlighted.
GWarning!
The pedestrian detection may be impaired or
unavailable when
Rpedestrians are obstructed fully or in part
by other objects such as parking vehicles
Rthe silhouette in the Night View Assist Plus
image is displayed incomplete or
interrupted, e.g. by significant light
reflection
Ra pedestrian’s silhouette is not rich enough
in contrast compared to the background
Rpedestrians are not in erected position but,
for example, sit, crouch down, or lie
iAnimals cannot be detected.
Adjusting instrument cluster illumination

instrument cluster while the Night View
Assist Plus is switched on, only the brightness
of the multifunction display is changed.

GWarning!
Please do not forget that your primary
responsibility is to drive the vehicle. A driver’s
attention to the road must always be his/her
primary focus when driving. For your safety
and the safety of others, stop before trying to
remove window fogging or cleaning the
windshield in front of the Night View Assist
Plus camera.
Bear in mind that at a speed of just 30 mph
(approximately 50 km/h), your vehicle is
covering a distance of 44 feet
(approximately 14 m) every second.
XRemoving condensation: Check settings
of the climate control and change them, if
necessary ( Y page 363).XSwing the camera cover downward
( Y page 444).XCleaning inside of windshield: Use a soft,
non-scratching cloth ( Y page 444).
Blind Spot Assist
The Blind Spot Assist uses radar sensors to
monitor the area on both sides of your
vehicle. It will assist you when you change
lanes driving at speeds of above 20 mph
(30 km/h). A red warning lamp will come on
in the exterior rear view mirror as soon as
another vehicle is detected. If you then
activate the corresponding turn signals to
change lanes, the red warning lamp flashes
and warning sounds (collision warning). The
Blind Spot Assist operates using sensors in
the rear bumper.GWarning!
The Blind Spot Assist is only a driving aid and
may not detect all vehicles.
The Blind Spot Assist may not be able to
detect narrow vehicles such as motorcycles
or bicycles, or it may not detect them until it
is too late.
The monitoring function may be impaired if
your sensors are dirty, subject to heavy spray,
or if visibility is poor due to e.g. snow, rain, or
fog. This can result in vehicles not being
detected or being detected too late.
The Blind Spot Assist cannot detect road,
traffic and weather conditions.
It is the driver’s responsibility at all times to
be attentive to road, weather and traffic
conditions and to provide the steering,
braking and other driving inputs necessary to
retain control of the vehicle. Failure to do so
could result in recognizing dangers too late,
possibly resulting in an accident and serious
injury to yourself and others.
In order for the Blind Spot Assist to function,
the radar sensors must be switched on and
operational.
When traveling in Canada in a vehicle not
registered in Canada, you must switch off the
radar sensor system ( Y page 236). Canadian
law does not permit the use of the radar
sensor system for vehicles from outside of
Canada. When you switch off the radar sensor
system, the following functions are
deactivated:

Ventilated glove box
The glove box can be ventilated, for instance
to cool its contents, when the climate control
system is activated. The level of airflow to the
glove box depends on the airflow and air
distribution settings. The temperature of the
air is approximately the same as that of the
air flowing from the center air vents.
! Close the glove box air vent when heating
the vehicle interior. Activate the air
conditioning (cooling function) when the
outside temperature is high. Otherwise,
temperature-sensitive items stored in the
glove box could be damaged.

GWarning!
Only use the jack supplied with your vehicle
to lift the vehicle briefly for wheel changes. If
you use the jack for any other purpose, you or
others could be injured, as the jack is
designed only for the purpose of changing a
wheel.
When using the jack, observe the safety notes
in the “Mounting the spare wheel” section and
the notes on the jack.

authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
Replacing wiper blades
Safety notes
GWarning!
For safety reasons, switch off the wipers and
remove the SmartKey from the starter switch
(vehicles with KEYLESS-GO: Make sure the
vehicle’s on-board electronics have status 0)
before replacing a wiper blade. Otherwise, the
wiper motor could suddenly turn on and cause
injury.
GWarning!
Wiper blades are components that are subject
to wear and tear. Replace the wiper blades
twice a year, preferably in the spring and fall.
Otherwise the windshield will not be wiped
properly. As a result, you may not be able to
observe surrounding traffic conditions and
could cause an accident.
! To avoid damage to the hood, the wiper
arms should only be folded forward when
in the vertical position.
! Never open the hood when a wiper arm is
folded forward.
Hold on to the wiper when folding a wiper
arm back. If released, the force of the
impact from the tensioning spring could
crack the windshield.
Do not allow a wiper arm to contact the
windshield glass without a wiper blade
inserted.
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you have
this work carried out at an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center.
