Speed Limit Assist display. Speed Limit Assist
cannot detect road and traffic conditions. It is
not a substitute for attentive driving.
Always pay attention to traffic conditions and
your surroundings. Otherwise, you may fail to
recognise dangers in time, cause an accident
and injure yourself and others.

Night View Assist Plus*
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 windscreen picks up
the infrared light and displays a black and
white image in the COMAND APS display. The
image displayed in COMAND APS corre-
sponds to a road lit up by main-beam head-
lamps. This enables you to see the road's
course and any obstacles in good time. If
pedestrian recognition is activated, pedes-
trians recognised by the system are highligh-
ted in the Night View Assist Plus display.
G
Risk of accident
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
