Night View Assist Plus
Important safety notes
In addition to the illumination provided by the
normal headlamps, Night View Assist Plus
uses infrared light to illuminate the road. A
camera at the top of the windshield picks up
the infrared light and displays a black-and-
white image in the COMAND display. The
image displayed in COMAND 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. If pedestrian
recognition is activated, pedestrians
recognized by the system are highlighted in
the Night View Assist Plus display.
G
Warning
Night View Assist Plus is only an aid designed
to assist driving. It is not a substitute for
attentive driving. Do not rely solely on the
Night View Assist Plus display. Continue to
look through the windshield. You are
responsible for safety and must drive in
accordance with traffic conditions. You could
otherwise put yourself and others in danger.
The system may be impaired or unavailable if:
R
there is poor visibility, e.g. due to snow,
rain, fog or heavy spray.
R
the windshield is dirty, fogged up or
covered, for instance by a sticker, in the
vicinity of the camera.
R
you are driving on bends, uphill gradients
or downhill gradients.
Light from the headlamps of oncoming
vehicles does not affect the Night View Assist
Plus display in the multifunction display. This
is also the case if you cannot switch on the
high-beam headlamps because of oncoming
traffic.
G
Warning!
The Night View Assist Plus cannot record
objects immediately in front of or next to the
vehicle. When maneuvering, continue to look
through the windshield. Make sure no
persons or animals are in the area in which
you are maneuvering. You could otherwise
injure them.

Infrared light is not visible to the human
eye and therefore does not glare. Night
View Assist Plus can therefore remain
