General notes Reversing camera
:is an optical parking
and manoeuvring aid. It shows the area
behind your vehicle with guide lines in the
Audio 20 or COMAND Online display.
The area behind the vehicle is displayed as a
mirror image, as in the rear-view mirror.
i The text shown in the Audio 20 or
COMAND Online display depends on the
language setting. The following are exam-
ples of reversing camera messages in the
Audio 20 or COMAND Online display.
Important safety notes The reversing camera is only an aid. It is not a
substitute for your attention to the immediate
surroundings. The responsibility for safe manoeuvring and parking remains with you.
Make sure that there are no persons, animals
or objects in range while manoeuvring and
parking.
Under the following circumstances, the
reversing camera will not function, or will
function in a limited manner:
R if the boot lid or tailgate is open
R in heavy rain, snow or fog
R at night or in very dark places
R if the camera is exposed to very bright light
R if the area is lit by fluorescent bulbs or LED
lighting (the display may flicker)
R if there is a sudden change in temperature,
e.g. when driving into a heated garage in
winter
R if the camera lens is dirty or obstructed.
Observe the notes on cleaning
(Y page 425)
R if the rear of your vehicle is damaged. In this
case, have the camera position and setting checked at a qualified specialist workshop.
The field of vision and other functions of the
reversing camera may be restricted due to
additional accessories on the rear of the vehi-
cle (e.g. licence plate holder, bicycle rack).
i The reversing camera is protected from
raindrops and dust by means of a flap.
When the reversing camera is activated,
this flap opens.
The flap closes again when:
R you have finished the manoeuvring proc-
ess
R you switch off the engine
R you open the boot or luggage compart-
ment
See the notes on cleaning (Y page 425).
For technical reasons, the flap may remain
open briefly after the reversing camera has been deactivated. 262

driver's door, e.g. for a change of drivers or to take a break
Displaying the attention level You can have current status information dis-
played in the assistance menu (Y page 327)
of the on-board computer.
X Select the assistance graphics display for
ATTENTION ASSIST using the on-board
computer (Y page 326).
The following information is displayed:
R the length of the journey since the last

played in a bar display in five levels from
high to low

display, e.g. if you are driving at a speed
below 60 km/h or above 200 km/h. Activating ATTENTION ASSIST X
Activate ATTENTION ASSIST using the on-
board computer (Y page 329).
The system determines the attention level
of the driver depending on the setting
selected:
Selection Standard Standard : the sensitivity with
which the system determines the attention
level is set to normal.
Selection Sensitive Sensitive: the sensitivity is set
higher. The attention level detected by
ATTENTION ASSIST is adapted accordingly
and the driver is warned earlier.
When ATTENTION ASSIST is deactivated, the é symbol appears in the multifunction
display in the assistance graphic display.
When ATTENTION ASSIST has been deactiva-
ted, it is automatically reactivated after the
engine has been switched off. The sensitivity selected corresponds to the last selection
activated (standard/sensitive).
Warning in the multifunction display If fatigue or increasing lapses in concentra-
tion are detected, a warning appears in the
multifunction display: ATTENTION ASSIST ATTENTION ASSIST
Take a break!
Take a break!.
In addition to the message shown in the mul-
tifunction display, you will then hear a warn-
ing tone.
X If necessary, take a break.
X Confirm the message by pressing the a
button on the steering wheel.
On long journeys, take regular breaks in good time that allow for adequate recuperation. If
you do not take a break and ATTEN-
TION ASSIST still detects increasing lapses in
concentration, you will be warned again after
15 minutes at the earliest. This will only hap-
pen if ATTENTION ASSIST still detects typical indicators of fatigue or increasing lapses in
concentration.
If a warning is output in the multifunction dis-
play, a service station search is performed in Driving systems

Warning display
:
Warning display
Blind Spot Assist is not active at speeds below approximately 30 km/h. Vehicles in the mon-itoring range are then not indicated.
If a vehicle is detected within the monitoring
range of Blind Spot Assist at speeds above
30 km/h, warning lamp :on the corre-
sponding side lights up red. This warning lamp
always lights up when a vehicle enters the
blind spot monitoring range from behind or
from the side. When you overtake a vehicle,
the warning only occurs if the difference in
speed is less than 12 km/h.
If you select the reverse gear, Blind Spot
Assist is not operational.
The brightness of the warning lamps is auto-
matically adapted to the brightness of the
surroundings.
Collision warning
If a vehicle is detected in the monitoring range
of Blind Spot Assist and you switch on the
corresponding turn signal, a double warning
tone sounds. Red warning lamp :flashes. If
the turn signal remains on, detected vehicles
are indicated by the flashing of red warning
lamp :. There are no further warning tones. Activating Blind Spot Assist
X Make sure that Blind Spot Assist is activa-
ted in the on-board computer
(Y page 328).
X Turn the key to position 2in the ignition
lock.
Warning lamps :in the exterior mirrors
light up red until the engine is started.

‑IN HYBRID operation Points to remember
General notes Hybrid technology combines a fuel efficient
internal combustion engine with a powerful
electric motor. In HYBRIDmode, the hybrid
drive system automatically selects the most
efficient operating mode for every driving sit-
uation. Drive the vehicle in the usual manner.
To save fuel in HYBRIDmode, the hybrid drive
system switches off the combustion engine
as often as possible during the journey when power output requirements are low. When
power output requirements are low, the elec-
tric motor powers the vehicle. When power
output requirements are high, the combus-
tion engine is automatically switched on.
When the vehicle is stationary, the combus-
tion engine is usually switched off. Conse-
quently, there is usually no engine idling as
with combustion engine vehicles.
For pulling away and accelerating, the electric
motor supports the internal combustion
engine using the power stored in the high-
voltage battery. In addition, the power is used
for partially electric driving, operation of the
electric coolant compressor and to support
the 12 V on-board electrical system. In this
way the hybrid drive helps to reduce your
vehicle's fuel consumption.
Observe the driving tips on plug-in hybrid
operation (Y page 297).286

IN HYBRID operationDriving and parking

Recuperative Brake System
If you release the accelerator pedal when the
vehicle is in motion, overrun recuperation is
initiated. The electric motor is operated as a
alternator when in overrun mode and when
you brake. Hybrid technology converts the
kinetic energy of the vehicle into electricity
and stores it in the high-voltage battery.
Observe the important safety notes for the
Recuperative Brake System (Y page 46).Important safety notes
If the engine is switched off by the ECO start/
stop function and you open the driver's door:
R a message appears in the multifunction dis-
play and
R a warning tone sounds
For further information, see (Y page 357).
All of the vehicle's systems remain active, if:
R the vehicle is stationary
R the combustion engine is switched off
R the READY-indicator in the instrument clus-
ter is lit
If you remove your foot from the brake pedal
while in transmission position D or R, the
vehicle could pull away automatically.
Observe the notes on the READY display of
the ECO start/stop function (Y page 298).
Vehicles with an electric motor generate sig-
nificantly less noise than vehicles with inter-
nal combustion engines. As a result, your
vehicle may not be heard by other road users
in certain situations. This is the case, for
example, when you are parking and your vehi-
cle is not seen by other road users.
This requires you to adopt a particularly antic-
ipatory driving style, as it is necessary to allow for the possibility that other road users may
behave unpredictably. PLUG‑IN HYBRID operation
