General notes With Adaptive Highbeam Assist Plus, you can
automatically switch between low-beam,
partial high-beam and high-beam headlamps.
Partial high-beam is a form of illumination
whereby the high-beam is directed past other
road users. Other road users are kept out of
the high-beam. This prevents glare. When
there is a vehicle in front, for example, the
high-beam headlamps illuminate the areas to
its right and left, and the vehicle in front is
illuminated by the low-beam headlamps.
The system automatically adapts the low-
beam headlamp range depending on the
distance to the other vehicle. Once the
system no longer detects any other vehicles,
it reactivates the high-beam headlamps.
If the high-beam or partial high-beam are
causing too much reflection from traffic signs, the lights are automatically dimmed
and glare for the driver caused by the
reflections is thus avoided.
The system's optical sensor is located behind
the windshield near the overhead control
panel.
Important safety notes
G
WARNING
Adaptive Highbeam Assist Plus does not
recognize road users:
R who have no lights, e.g. pedestrians
R who have poor lighting, e.g. cyclists
R whose lighting is blocked, e.g. by a barrier
In very rare cases, Adaptive Highbeam Assist
Plus may not recognize road users who do
have lights, or may recognize them too late.
In this or similar situations, the automatic
high-beam headlamps will not be deactivated
or will be activated regardless. There is a risk
of an accident.
Always carefully observe the traffic conditions
and switch off the high-beam headlamps in
good time.
Adaptive Highbeam Assist Plus cannot take
into account road, weather or traffic
conditions. Adaptive Highbeam Assist Plus is
only an aid. You are responsible for adjusting
the vehicle's lighting to the prevailing light,
visibility and traffic conditions.
In particular, the detection of obstacles can
be restricted if there is:
R poor visibility, e.g. due to fog, heavy rain or
snow
R dirt on the sensors or the sensors are
obscured Exterior lighting

The 00CE indicator lamp in the
multifunction display lights up if it is dark
and the light sensor activates the low-beam
headlamps.
If you are driving at speeds above
approximately 16 mph (25 km/h):
The headlamp range is set automatically
depending on the distance between the
vehicle and other road users.
If you are driving at speeds above
approximately 19 mph (30 km/h) and no
other road users have been detected:
The high-beam headlamps are switched on
automatically. The 0057indicator lamp in
the instrument cluster also lights up.
If you are driving at speeds above
approximately 28 mph (45 km/h) and other
road users have been detected:
Partial high-beam is selected
automatically. The 0057indicator lamp in
the instrument cluster also lights up.
If you are driving at speeds below
approximately 25 mph (40 km/h): The partial high-beam headlamps are
switched off automatically. If no other road
users are recognize, the high-beam
headlamps are switched on.
If you are driving at speeds below
approximately 16 mph (25 km/h) or the
roads are adequately illuminated:
The high-beam headlamps are switched off

When ATTENTION ASSIST is deactivated, the
00AD symbol and OFF appear in the
multifunction display in the assistance
display when the engine is running.
When ATTENTION ASSIST has been
deactivated, it is automatically reactivated
after the engine has been stopped. The
sensitivity selected corresponds to the last
selection activated (standard/sensitive).
Warning in the multifunction display If fatigue or increasing lapses in
concentration are detected, a warning
appears in the multifunction display:
Attention Assist: Take a Break! Attention Assist: Take a Break!
In addition to the message shown in the
multifunction display, you will then hear a
warning tone.
X If necessary, take a break.
X Confirm the message by pressing the
0076 button on the steering wheel.
On long journeys, take regular breaks in good
time to allow yourself to rest properly. If you
do not take a break and ATTENTION ASSIST
continues to detect increasing lapses in
concentration, you will be warned again after
15 minutes at the earliest. This will only
happen if ATTENTION ASSIST still detects
typical indicators of fatigue or increasing
lapses in concentration.
If a warning is output in the multifunction
display, a service station search is performed
in COMAND. You can select a service station
and navigation to this service station will then
begin. This function can be activated and
deactivated in COMAND. 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 0044picks 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 high-beam headlamps. This enables you
to see the road's course and any obstacles in
good time. When pedestrian recognition is
active, pedestrians recognized by the system
are visually highlighted in color in the Night
View Assist Plus display with small frame
corners.
i Infrared light is not visible to the human
eye and therefore does not glare. Night
View Assist Plus can therefore remain
switched on even if there is oncoming
traffic.
In addition, thermal imaging camera 0043is
integrated in the radiator grill. The camera
helps detect pedestrians and animals.
Observe the notes on cleaning the thermal
imaging camera (Y page 359).
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 adapt236

Night View Assist Plus can recognize larger
animals such as deer, cows or horses using
typical characteristics.
The system does not detect:
R smaller animals, e.g. dogs and cats
R animals whose silhouette is not clearly
recognizable.
When detected, animals are marked with
small color frame corners. In contrast to
pedestrian recognition, there is no separate
readiness symbol in the multifunction
display.
Switching Night View Assist on/off Activation conditions
You can only activate Night View Assist Plus
if all of the following conditions are met:
R the ignition is switched on (Y page 171) or
the engine has been started.
R the light switch is in the 0058or0058
position.
R reverse gear has not been engaged.

The Night View Assist Plus display appears
in the multifunction display.
i The infrared headlamps only switch on in
the dark from speeds of approximately
6 mph (10 km/h). This means that you do
not have the full visual range while the
vehicle is stationary and cannot check
whether Night View Assist Plus is working. The infrared headlamps are deactivated at
speeds below 3 mph (5 km/h). The Night
View image continues to be displayed until
you deactivate it by pressing button 0043.
