DRIVER SUPPORT
Driver Alert Control limitations
Driver Alert Control (DAC) functionality may
be reduced in certain situations.
In certain situations, the system may provide a
warning even if it has not detected a change in
driving behavior, e.g.:
in strong crosswinds
•
on grooved road surfaces.
•
WARNING
In certain cases, driving behavior might not
be affected despite the driver's fatigue –
when using the Pilot Assist* function –
resulting in the driver not getting a warning
from DAC.
It is therefore very important to always
stop and take a break at the slightest sign
of fatigue, regardless of whether the func-
tion has issued a warning or not.
NOTE
The function uses the vehicle's camera and
radar sensor, which has certain general
limitations.

Distance Alert*
The Distance Alert function can help the
driver become aware if the time interval to
the vehicle in front is too short. The vehicle
must be equipped with a head-up display* in
order to display Distance Alert.
Symbol for Distance Alert on the windshield with
head-up display
In vehicles equipped with a head-up display, a
symbol will be displayed on the windshield as
long as the time interval to the vehicle ahead
is shorter than the set time interval. However,
the Show Driver Support function must be
activated under Settings in the vehicle's menu
system.
Distance Alert is active at speeds
above 30 km/h (20 mph) and only reacts for
vehicles ahead moving in the same direction
as your vehicle. No distance information is
provided for oncoming, slow-moving or sta-
tionary vehicles.
NOTE
Visual warnings on the windshield may be
difficult to notice in cases of strong sun-
light, reflections, extreme light contrasts,
or if the driver is wearing sunglasses or is
not looking straight ahead.
NOTE
Distance Alert is deactivated while Adap-
tive Cruise Control* or Pilot Assist* is
active.
WARNING
Distance Alert only reacts of the time inter-
val to the vehicle ahead is shorter than the
preset value – vehicle speed is not affec-
ted.
* Option/accessory.
