2015 MERCEDES-BENZ S-CLASS COUPE transmission

Object detection
The reversing camera can detect moving and
stationary objects. If, for example, a pedes-
trian or another vehicle is detected, these
objects are marked with bars. The system is
only able to detect and mark stationary
objects when your vehicle is moving. When
the vehicle is stationary, moving objects can
be detected and marked.
To ensure that you can use the function, it
must be switched on in COMAND Online (see
the separate operating instructions). 360° camera (surround view)
General notes The 360° camera is a camera system that
consists of four cameras.
The system evaluates images from the fol-
lowing cameras:
R reversing camera
R front camera
R two side cameras in the exterior mirrors
The cameras cover the immediate surround-
ings of the vehicle. The 360° camera assists
you, for instance when parking or at exits with reduced visibility.
You can show pictures from the 360° camera
in full-screen mode or in six different split-
screen views on the COMAND display. A split- screen view also includes a top view of the
vehicle. This view is calculated from the data supplied by the installed cameras (virtual
camera).
The six split-screen views are:
R top view and image from the reversing cam-
era (130° viewing angle)
R top view and image from the front camera
(130° viewing angle without displaying the
maximum steering wheel angle)
R top view and enlarged rear view
R top view and enlarged front view R
top view and images from the rear-facing
side cameras (rear wheel view)
R top view and images from the forward-
facing side cameras (front wheel view)
When the function is active and you shift the
transmission from Dor Rto N, the guidelines
in the COMAND display are hidden.
When you change between transmission
positions Dand R, you see the previously
selected front or rear view.
Distances measured by PARKTRONIC will
also be optically displayed:
R as red or yellow brackets around the vehi-
cle symbol in top view in split-screen mode
or
R at the bottom right as red or yellow brack-
ets around the vehicle symbol in full-screen
mode
The line thickness and colour of the brackets show how far the vehicle is from an object.
R yellow brackets with thin lines:
PARKTRONIC is active
R yellow brackets with normal lines: an
object is present in close range of the vehi-
cle
R red line: an object is present in the imme-
diate close range of the vehicle
Important safety notes The 360° camera is only an aid and may show
a distorted view of obstacles, show them
incorrectly or not at all. The 360° camera is
not a substitute for attentive driving.
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.
You are always responsible for safety, and
must always pay attention to your surround-
ings when parking and manoeuvring. This
applies to the areas behind, in front of and
beside the vehicle. You could otherwise
endanger yourself and others. 224
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 %
button.

The camera system may show a distorted
view of obstacles or show them incorrectly or
not at all. Obstacles are not shown by the
system in the following locations:
R under the front and rear bumpers
R very close to the front and rear bumpers
R in the area immediately above the handle
on the boot lid
R very close to the exterior mirrors
R in the transitional areas between the vari-
ous cameras in the virtual top view
! Objects not at ground level may appear to
be further away than they actually are, e.g.:
R the bumper of a parked vehicle
R the drawbar of a trailer
R the ball coupling of a trailer tow hitch
R the rear section of an HGV
R a slanted post
Use the guidelines only for orientation.
Approach objects no further than the bot-
tom-most guideline. 226

General notes ATTENTION ASSIST helps you during long,
monotonous journeys such as on motorways and trunk roads. It is active in the 60 km/hto
200 km/h speed range. If ATTENTION ASSIST
detects typical indicators of fatigue or
increasing lapses in concentration on the part of the driver, it suggests taking a break.
Important safety notes ATTENTION ASSIST is only an aid. It may not
always detect fatigue or lapses in concentra-
tion until too late, or may not detect them at
all. The system is not a substitute for a well-
rested and attentive driver.
The functionality of ATTENTION ASSIST is
restricted, and warnings may be delayed or
not occur at all:
R if the length of the journey is less than
approximately 30 minutes
R if the road condition is poor, e.g. if the sur-
face is uneven or if there are potholes
R if there is a strong side wind 228
Driving systemsDriving and parking

there is sufficient distance to the side for
other traffic or obstacles. If a lane-correcting brake application occurs,
display :appears in the multifunction dis-
play. The brake application also slightly
reduces driving speed.
A lane-correcting brake application can be
made after driving over a lane marking rec-
ognised as being solid or broken. Before this,
a warning must have been issued by means of
intermittent vibration through the steering
wheel. In addition, a lane with lane markings
on both sides must be recognised.
In the case of a broken lane marking being
detected, a lane-correcting brake application can only be made if a vehicle has been detec-
ted in the adjacent lane. The following vehi-
cles can have an influence on brake applica-
tion: oncoming traffic, vehicles that are over-
taking and vehicles that are driving parallel to
your vehicle.
i A further lane-correcting brake applica-
tion can only occur after your vehicle has
returned to the original lane.
No lane-correcting brake application occurs
if:
R you clearly and actively steer, brake or
accelerate
R you cut the corner on a sharp bend
R you have switched on the turn signal
R a driving safety system intervenes, such as
ESP ®
, PRE-SAFE ®
Brake or Active Blind
Spot Assist R
you have adopted a sporty driving style with
high cornering speeds or high rates of
acceleration
R ESP ®

R the transmission is not in position D
R a loss of tyre pressure or a defective tyre
has been detected and displayed
R an obstacle in the lane in which you are
driving has been detected
Active Lane Keeping Assist may not detect
other road users or traffic situations. An inap- propriate brake application may be interrup-
ted at any time if:
R you steer slightly in the opposite direction
R you switch on the turn signal
R you clearly brake or accelerate
A lane-correcting brake application is inter-
rupted automatically if:
R a driving safety system intervenes, such as
ESP ®
