General notes
The Head-up Display projects information from
the navigation system and the driver assistance
system above the dashboard into the driver's
field of vision. The Head-up Display allows the
driver to see all of the information without hav-
ing to take their eyes off the road.
A requirement for the display of the contents is
that the following functions are available in the
vehicle and are switched on:
Cruise control
R
DISTRONIC PLUS
R
Traffic Sign Assist
R

Important safety notes

The Head-up Display is only an aid and is not a
substitute for attentive driving.
Speed limits and overtaking restrictions are not
always correctly displayed. Traffic signs always
have priority over the Traffic Sign Assist display.
The visibility of the Head-up Display is influ-
enced by the following conditions:
the driver's seat position
R
the positioning of the display image
R
the general ambient light
R
sunglasses with polarization filters
R
wet roads
R
blocking of sunlight by objects on the display
R
cover
In the event of extreme sunlight, sections of the
display may fade. This can be reversed by
switching the Head-up Display off and on again.
i
Vehicles with the head-up display are equip-
ped with a special windshield. Should repairs
be necessary, have the windshield replaced at
a qualified specialist workshop.
