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.

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.
