2009 MERCEDES-BENZ E-CLASS SALOON rear view mirror

i
The infrared headlamps only switch on
when the vehicle is driving at speeds of at
least 10 km/h. This means that you do not
have the full visual range while stationary
and cannot check whether Night View
Assist Plus is working.
Pedestrian recognition The Night View Assist Plus recognises pedes-
trians using typical characteristics, i. e. a sil-
houette in the shape of a person.
Pedestrian recognition is activated, if:
R Night View Assist Plus is activated
R you are driving faster than about 10 km/h
R the surroundings are dark, e. g. when driv-
ing outside built-up areas without street
lighting
If pedestrian recognition is active, sym-
bol ?appears. If a pedestrian is now recog-
nised, they are framed =and thereby high-
lighted. If the pedestrian recognition system
has brought a pedestrian to your attention,
look through the windscreen to evaluate the
situation. The actual distance to objects and
pedestrians cannot be gauged accurately by
looking at a screen.
It may be the case that objects are highlighted
as well as pedestrians. G
Risk of accident
Pedestrian recognition may be impaired or
inoperative, if:
R pedestrians are partially or completely
obscured by objects, e. g. by parked vehi-
cles
R the silhouette in the Night View Assist Plus
display is incomplete or interrupted, e. g. by
powerful light reflections
R pedestrians do not contrast with the sur-
roundings
R pedestrians are not in an upright position,
e. g. sitting, squatting or lying i
Animals are not recognised by pedestrian
recognition.
Misted up or dirty windscreen If the windscreen in front of the camera is
misted up or dirty on the inside or outside, the
Night View Assist Plus display is affected.
X To demist: check the automatic air-condi-
tioning settings (Y page 179) and fold
down the camera cover (Y page 245).
X To demist the inside of the wind-
screen: fold down the camera cover and
clean the windscreen (Y page 242). Lane package*
The lane package consists of Blind Spot
Assist and Lane Keeping Assist.
Blind Spot Assist Blind Spot Assist uses a radar sensor system
to monitor the area on both sides of your
vehicle. It supports you when you change
lanes at speeds above 30 km/h. In each case,
a warning lamp appears in the exterior mirror
as soon as a vehicle is detected in the area
monitored. When you switch on the corre-
sponding turn signal prior to changing lanes,
you receive an optical and acoustic collision
warning. For this purpose, Blind Spot Assist
uses sensors in the rear bumper.
G
Risk of accident
Blind Spot Assist is only an aid and may not
detect all vehicles. Blind Spot Assist does not
relieve you of the responsibility of paying
attention.
Always pay attention to traffic conditions and
your surroundings. Otherwise, you may fail to
recognise dangers in time, cause an accident
and injure yourself and others.
The radar sensor system is automatically
deactivated near radio telescope facilities
(Y page 362). Driving systems

Sun visors
G
Risk of accident
Keep the mirrors in the sun visors covered
while driving. Otherwise, you could be daz-
zled, impairing your view of traffic conditions.
As a result, you could cause an accident. :

windows
X
To extend: pull the roller sunblind out by
tab :and hook it onto retainers ;at the
top of the window.
! Always guide the roller sunblind by hand.
Do not let it snap back suddenly, as this
would damage the automatic roller mech-
anism.
! If you drive with the roller sunblind exten-
ded and the side window open, the roller
sunblind may pop out of the retainer and
suddenly spring back if you drive at high
speeds, e.g. on the motorway. This could
damage the inertia reel. Therefore, either
close the side window or retract the roller
sunblind before driving at high speeds. Features

Risk of accident
Only press the transmitter button on the inte-
grated remote control if there are no persons
or objects present within the sweep of the
garage door. Persons could otherwise be
injured as the door moves.
Programming the remote control i

the first time the transmitter button is pro-
grammed. If this transmitter button has
already been programmed, indicator
lamp :will only start flashing at a rate of
once a second after 20 seconds have
elapsed.
X Keep the transmitter buttons depressed.
X Point the garage door's remote control with
the transmitter towards the left-hand side
of the rear-view mirror from a distance of 5
to 20 cm.
i The distance between the garage door's
remote control and the integrated garage

garage door drive. You might require sev-
eral attempts. You should test every posi-
tion for at least 20 seconds before trying
another position.

door's remote control depressed until indi-
cator lamp :starts to flash rapidly.
The programming was successful if indica-
tor lamp :flashes rapidly.

garage door's remote control and the inte-
grated remote control.
If indicator lamp :goes out after approx-
imately 20 seconds and did not flash rapidly
before this:
X Release the transmitter buttons on the
integrated and portable remote controls.
X Repeat the programming procedure. When
doing so, change the distance between the
garage door's remote control and the trans-
mitter buttons in the rear-view mirror.

system receiver.
You will find further information in the
garage door opening system's operating
instructions, e.g. the sections on "Synchro-
nising the transmitter" or "Registering a
new transmitter". You can also call the hot-
line mentioned above.
Opening or closing the garage door Once programmed, the integrated remote
control will assume the function of the garage

around the pedals when floormats are used,
and that the floormats are properly secured.
The floormats must be correctly secured at all
times using retainers and press-studs.
Before you drive off, check the floormats and
secure if necessary. A floormat which is not
properly secured can slip and, thereby, inter-
fere with the movement of the pedals.
Do not place floormats on top of one another. X
Slide seat backwards.
X To fit: place the floormat in position.
X Press studs :onto retainers ;.
X To remove: pull floormat off retainers ;.
