When ATTENTION ASSIST is deactivated, the

display when the engine is running.
When ATTENTION ASSIST has been
deactivated, it is automatically reactivated

selection activated (standard/sensitive).

Warning in the multifunction display

If fatigue or increasing lapses in
concentration are detected, a warning
appears in the multifunction display:
Attention Assist: Take a Break! Attention Assist: Take a Break!
In addition to the message shown in the
multifunction display, you will then hear a
warning tone.
If necessary, take a break.

Confirm the message by pressing the
X
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
continues to detect increasing lapses in
concentration, you will be warned again after
15 minutes at the earliest. This will only
happen if ATTENTION ASSIST still detects
typical indicators of fatigue or increasing
lapses in concentration.
If a warning is output in the multifunction
display, 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.

Night View Assist Plus

General notes
In addition to the illumination provided by the
normal headlamps, Night View Assist Plus
uses infrared light to illuminate the road.
Night View Assist Plus camera ; picks up
the infrared light and displays a monochrome
image in the multifunction display. The image
shown in the display 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. When pedestrian recognition is
active, pedestrians recognized by the system
are visually highlighted in color in the Night
View Assist Plus display with small frame
corners.
i
Infrared light is not visible to the human
eye and therefore does not glare. Night
View Assist Plus can therefore remain
switched on even if there is oncoming
traffic.
In addition, thermal imaging camera : is
integrated in the radiator grill. The camera
helps detect pedestrians and animals.
Observe the notes on cleaning the thermal
imaging camera ( page 359).
