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. The
Night View Assist Plus camera picks up the
infrared light and displays a monochrome
image in COMAND. The image displayed in
COMAND corresponds to a road lit up by
main-beam headlamps. This enables you to
see the road's course and any obstacles in
good time. When pedestrian recognition is
active, pedestrians recognised 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 and does not relieve you of
the responsibility to pay attention. Continue
to look through the windscreen instead of
relying on the Night View Assist Plus display.
You are responsible for safety and must drive
in accordance with traffic conditions. You
could otherwise endanger yourself and oth-
ers.

rain, fog or spray.
the windscreen is dirty, misted up or cov-

Light from the headlamps of oncoming vehi-
cles does not affect the Night View Assist Plus
display in the multifunction display. This is
also the case if you cannot switch on the
main-beam headlamps due to oncoming traf-
fic.

WARNING
Night View Assist Plus does not detect
objects in the immediate vicinity of the vehi-
cle. Look through the windscreen when
manoeuvring. Make sure that there are no
people or animals in the area in which you are
manoeuvring.
i
Infrared light is not visible to the human
eye and therefore does not dazzle. Night
View Assist Plus can therefore remain
switched on even if there is oncoming traf-
fic.
