object is marked with a bar. Objects located
some distance from the vehicle away are
marked with a yellow bar. If the distance to
the object is very small, the bar is displayed in
red.
Object detection only works in wide-angle
mode.
In order to use the function, it must be
switched on in Audio 20 or COMAND (see the
Digital Operator's Manual).
360° camera
General notes
The 360° camera is a system consisting of
four cameras.
The system analyzes images from the follow-
ing cameras:
RRear view camera
RFront camera
RTwo side cameras in the exterior mirrors
The cameras capture the immediate sur-
roundings of the vehicle. The system sup-
ports you, for example when parking or if
vision is restricted at an exit.
You can show pictures from the 360° camera
in full-screen mode or in six different split-
screen views on the Audio 20 or 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 cam-
eras (virtual camera).
The six split-screen views are:
Rtop view and picture from the rear view
camera (130° viewing angle)
Rtop view and image from the front camera
(130° viewing angle without displaying the
maximum steering wheel angle)
Rtop view and enlarged rear view
Rtop view and enlarged front view
Rtop view and images from the rear-facing
side cameras (rear wheel view)
Rtop 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 guide lines
in the Audio 20 or COMAND display are hid-
den.
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:
Rin split screen view as red or yellow brack- ets around the vehicle icon in the top view,
or
Rat the bottom right as red or yellow brack-
ets around the vehicle symbol in full-screen
mode
The line thickness and color of the brackets
show how far the vehicle is from an object.
Ryellow brackets with thin lines:
PARKTRONIC is active
Ryellow brackets with normal lines: an
object is present in close range of the vehi- cle
Rred 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.
You are always responsible for safe maneu-
vering and parking. When maneuvering or
parking, make sure that there are no persons,
animals or objects in the area in which you are
maneuvering.
You are always responsible for safety, and
must always pay attention to your surround-
ings when parking and maneuvering. This
applies to the areas behind, in front of and
beside the vehicle. You could otherwise
endanger yourself and others.

Driving and parking

When ATTENTION ASSIST is deactivated, the
ésymbol 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 stopped. 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
Take a Break!.
In addition to the message shown in the mul-
tifunction display, you will then hear a warn-
ing tone.
XIf necessary, take a break.
XConfirm the message by pressing the a
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
still detects increasing lapses in concentra-
tion, 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
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.
Traffic Sign Assist
General notes
Traffic Sign Assist displays the maximum
speed permitted to the driver in the instru-
ment cluster. The data and general traffic reg-
ulations stored in the navigation system are
used to determine the current speed limit. Traffic Sign Assist is a map-based system,
and thus, traffic signs put up temporarily (e.g.
near roadworks) are not detected.
If a traffic sign that is relevant to your vehicle
is passed, the display of the speed limits is
updated.
Traffic signs with a restriction indicated by an
additional sign (e.g. in wet conditions) are
also shown.
The traffic signs are only displayed with the
restrictions if:
Rthe regulation must be observed with the
restriction, or
RTraffic Sign Assist is unable to determine
whether the restriction applies
If Traffic Sign Assist is unable to determine a
maximum permitted speed from any of the
available sources, no speed limit is displayed
in the instrument cluster either.
Traffic Sign Assist is not available in all coun-
tries. In this case, symbol :is shown in the
assistance graphic display (
Ypage 251).
Important safety notes
Traffic Sign Assist is only an aid and is not
always able to correctly display speed limits.
Traffic signs always have priority over the
Traffic Sign Assist display.
The system may be either functionally
impaired or temporarily unavailable if the
information in the digital street map of the
navigation system is incorrect or out of date.

Sign Assist has determined that the
restriction must beobserved.
Canceling the speed limit
The speed limit no longer applies:.
iThe unit for the speed limit (km/h or mph)
depends on the country inwhich you are
driving. It isgeneral lyne ither shown on the
traff icsign nor on the instrument cluster
but must betaken into account when
observing the maximum permitted speed.
Lane Tracking package
General notes
The Lane Tracking package consists of Blind
Sp ot Assist (
Ypage 217) and Lane Keepin g
Assist (
Ypage 220).
Blind Spot Assist
Gene ral notes
Blind Spot Assist mon itors the areas on either
side of the vehicle that are not vis ibleto the
driver with two lateral, rear-facing radar sen-
sors. A warning displayinthe exterior mirrors
draws your attention to vehicles detected in
the mon itored area. Ifyou then switch on the
corresponding turn signal to change lane, you
will also receive an optical and audible warn-
ing.
Blind Spot Assist supports you from a speed
of approximately 20 mph (30 km/h).
Driving systems217
Driving and parking
Z

Blind Spot Assist monitors the area up to 10 ft
(3 m) behind your vehicle and directly next to
your vehicle, as shown in the diagram.
If the lanes are narrow, vehicles driving in the
lane beyond the lane next to your vehicle may
be indicated, especially if the vehicles are not
driving in the middle of their lane. This may be
the case if there are vehicles driving at the
inner edge of their lanes.
Due to the nature of the system:
Rwarnings may be issued in error when driv-
ing close to crash barriers or similar solid
lane borders.
Rthe warning is canceled when driving for an
extended period next to long vehicles, such
as trucks.
Warning display
:Warning display Blind Spot Assist is not active at speeds below
approximately 20 mph (30 km/h). Vehicles in
the monitoring range are then not indicated.
If a vehicle is detected within the blind spot
monitoring range at speeds above 20 mph
(30 km/h), warning lamp
:on the corre-
sponding side lights up red. This warning is
always emitted 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 7 mph (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, vehicles detected
are indicated by the flashing of red warning
lamp :. There are no further warning tones.
Switching on Blind Spot Assist
XMake sure that Blind Spot Assist is activa-
ted in the on-board computer
(

XTurn the SmartKey to position 2in the igni-
tion lock.
