Head-up display
General notes
The Head-up Display projects information from
the navigation system and the driver assistance
systems above the dashboard into the driver's
field of vision. This way, the Head-up Display
enables drivers to see information without hav-
ing to take their eyes off the road.
A requirement for the display of the content is
that the following functions are available in the
vehicle and are switched on:
Cruise control
R
SPEEDTRONIC
R
DISTRONIC PLUS
R
Traffic Sign Assist
R
Navigation
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 influenced
by the following conditions:
the driver's seat position
R
the positioning of the display image
R
the general light conditions
