ATTENTION ASSIST

Important safety notes
ATTENTION ASSIST helps you during long,
monotonous journeys such as on freeways
and interstate highways. It is active in the
range between 50 mph (80 km/h) and
112 mph (180 km/h).
If ATTENTION ASSIST detects typical
indicators of fatigue or increasing lapses in
concentration on the part of the driver, it
suggests you take a break.
G
WARNING
ATTENTION ASSIST is only an aid and may
detect your tiredness or lapses in
concentration too late or not at all. It is not a
substitute for a well-rested and attentive
driver.
Fatigue may cause you to recognize
hazardous situations too late, misjudge a
situation or react more slowly. For this
reason, make sure you feel rested before you
begin driving and during your journey. Make
sure that you take regular breaks in time,
particularly on long journeys. Otherwise, you
may fail to recognize dangers in time, cause
an accident and injure yourself and others.
ATTENTION ASSIST assesses your level of
fatigue or lapses in concentration by taking
the following criteria into account:
your personal driving style, e.g. steering
R
characteristics
driving conditions, e.g. time, driving time
R
The functionality of ATTENTION ASSIST is
restricted and warnings may be delayed or
not occur at all:
if the road condition is poor, e.g. if the
R
surface is uneven or if there are potholes
if there is a strong side wind
R
if you have adopted a sporty driving style
R
with high cornering speeds or high rates of
acceleration
