A camera at the top of the windshield
measures the infrared light and shows a
black-and-white image in the COMAND
system display. The image in the COMAND
system display corresponds to a road lit up
by high-beam headlamps.
GWarning!
The Night View Assist Plus is only an aid to
support you while driving and cannot
substitute your careful attention. Do not rely
on the display of the Night View Assist Plus;
instead, continue to look through the
windshield. You are always responsible for
safety and must drive in accordance with
traffic conditions. Otherwise, you could
endanger yourself and others.
The system may be impaired or unavailable
when
Rvisibility is poor, e.g. due to snow, rain, fog,
or heavy spray
Rthe camera area of the windshield is dirty,
fogged up or covered by a sticker for
example
Rdriving through curves or on inclines or
declines
GWarning!
The Night View Assist Plus cannot record
objects immediately in front of or next to the
vehicle. When maneuvering, continue to look
through the windshield. Make sure no
persons or animals are in the area in which
you are maneuvering. You could otherwise
injure them.
The Night View Assist Plus image in the
COMAND system display is not impaired by
the headlamps of approaching vehicles.
As a result, you can better follow the course
of the road and detect obstacles earlier on.
iInfrared light is invisible to the human eye
and thus does not blind. The Night View
Assist Plus can remain switched on
permanently even with oncoming traffic
present.
The Night View Assist Plus monitors the area
in front of your vehicle via camera :.
Switching on or off
You can only switch on the Night View Assist
Plus if
Rthe SmartKey in the starter switch is set to
position 2
Rit is dark
Rthe exterior lamp switch is set to c or
L
Rthe automatic transmission is not in
reverse gear R

non-scratching cloth ( Y page 263).
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 144). 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:
R Blind Spot Assist
R BAS PLUS ( Y page 63)
R PRE-SAFE ®

R DISTRONIC PLUS ( Y page 149)
