General notes Reversing camera
:is under a flap in the
boot lid.
Reversing camera :is an optical parking
and manoeuvring aid. It shows the area
behind your vehicle with guide lines in the
COMAND display.
The area behind the vehicle is displayed as a
mirror image, as in the rear-view mirror.
i The text shown in the COMAND display
depends on the language setting. The fol-
lowing are examples of reversing camera
displays in the COMAND 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 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 the camera lens mists up, e.g. when driv-
ing into a heated garage in winter, causing
a rapid change in temperature
R if the camera lens is dirty or obstructed.
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).
The guide lines in the COMAND display show the distances to your vehicle. The distances
only apply to road level.
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
Observe the notes on cleaning
(Y page 350).
For technical reasons, the flap may remain
open briefly after the reversing camera has been deactivated. 220
Driving systemsDriving and parking

The 360° camera will not function or will
function only in a limited manner:
R if the doors are open
R if the exterior mirrors are folded in
R if the boot lid is open
R in heavy rain, snow or fog
R at night or in very dark places
R if the cameras are exposed to very bright
light
R if the area is lit by fluorescent bulbs or LED
lighting (the display may flicker)
R if the camera lenses mist up, e.g. when
driving into a heated garage in winter, caus-
ing a rapid change in temperature
R if the camera lenses are dirty or covered.
Observe the notes on cleaning
(Y page 350)
R if the vehicle components in which the
cameras are fitted are damaged. In this
event, have the camera position and setting
checked at a qualified specialist workshop.
Do not use the 360° under such circumstan-
ces. You could otherwise injure others or
damage objects when parking the vehicle.
The guide lines in the COMAND display show
the distances to your vehicle. The distances
only apply to road level.
i The camera in the rear area is protected
from raindrops and dust by means of a flap.
This flap opens when the 360° camera is
activated.
The flap closes again when:
R you have finished the manoeuvring proc-
ess
R you switch off the engine
R you open the boot
See the notes on cleaning (Y page 350).
For technical reasons, the flap may remain
open briefly after the 360° camera has
been deactivated. On vehicles with height-adjustable chassis,
depending on technical conditions, leaving
the standard height can result in:
R inaccuracies in the guide lines
R inaccuracies in the display of generated
images (top view)
Activation conditions The 360° camera image can be displayed if:
R COMAND Online is switched on (see the
separate operating instructions)
R the 360° camera 360° camera function is switched on
i If the 360° camera is activated at speeds
above approximately 30 km/h, a warning
message appears.
The warning message disappears if:
R the vehicle's speed falls below approx-
imately 30 km/h. The 360° camera is
then activated.
R the message is confirmed with the %

actual distance to objects and pedestrians
cannot be gauged accurately by looking at a
screen.
Animal recognition
Animals can be recognised in the following
situations:
R darkness
R outside built-up areas
R below an outside temperature of 32 †
Night View Assist Plus can recognise 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 rec-
ognisable
When detected, animals are marked with
small coloured frame corners. In contrast to
pedestrian recognition, there is no separate
readiness symbol in the multifunction dis-
play. Activating/deactivating Night View

els, series and optional equipment for your
vehicle that were available at the time of
going to press. National variations are pos- sible. Note that your vehicle may not be
equipped with all of the functions descri-

WARNING
Operating the integrated information systems and communications equipment in the vehicle
while driving will distract you from traffic con-
ditions. You could then lose control of the
vehicle. There is a risk of an accident.
Only operate these devices if road traffic con-
ditions permit. If you are unsure about the
surrounding conditions, pull over to a safe
location and make entries only while the vehi-
cle is stationary.
You must observe the legal requirements for
the country in which you are currently driving when operating the on-board computer. G
WARNING
If the instrument cluster has failed or there is a malfunction, you may not know about
safety-related function restrictions. The oper-ating safety of your vehicle may be affected.
There is a risk of an accident.
Immediately stop the vehicle while paying
attention to the traffic conditions and consult
a qualified specialist workshop. G
WARNING
If the instrument cluster has failed or mal-
functioned, you may not recognise function
restrictions relevant to safety. The operating safety of your vehicle may be impaired. There
is a risk of an accident.
Drive on carefully. Have the vehicle checked
at a qualified specialist workshop immedi-
ately.
If the operating safety of your vehicle is
impaired, park the vehicle safely as soon as
possible. Contact a qualified specialist work-
shop.
The on-board computer only shows messages
or warnings from certain systems in the mul- tifunction display. You should therefore make
sure your vehicle is operating safely at all
times.
For an overview; see the instrument cluster
illustration (Y page 32). Displays and operation
Instrument cluster lighting
The light sensor in the instrument cluster
automatically controls the brightness of the
multifunction display. In daylight, the displays
in the instrument cluster are illuminated. A
dimming function is not possible in daylight.
The lighting in the instrument cluster, in the
displays and the controls in the vehicle inte-
rior can be adjusted using the brightness con-
trol knob.
The brightness control is located between the instrument cluster and the COMAND Display
(Y page 34).
X Turn the brightness control knob clockwise
or anti-clockwise.
If the light switch (Y page 128) is set to
Ã, TorL, the brightness is
dependent upon the brightness of the
ambient light. Rev counter
! Do not drive in the overrevving range.
Doing so will damage the engine. 244
