Attentiveness assistant
General
The system can detect decreasing attentiveness
or the onset of fatigue in the driver on long mo‐
notonous journeys, for example on motorways. In
such situations, the system recommends you
take a break.
Safety note
WARNING
The system does not relieve you of your per‐
sonal responsibility to assess your physical
condition correctly. Increasing inattention or fa‐
tigue might not be detected, or may not be de‐
tected in good time. There is a risk of accident.
Make sure that you, as the driver, are rested
and alert. Adapt your driving style to the traffic
conditions.
Function
The system is switched on every time drive-
ready state is switched on.
After commencement of the journey, the system
adapts to the driver so that any decrease in at‐
tention or fatigue can be detected.
This process considers the following criteria:
▷ Personal driving style, for example steering.
▷ Driving conditions, for example time of day,
duration of journey.
▷ Depending on the vehicle equipment: atten‐
tiveness of the driver through the Driver At‐
tention Camera.
The system is active from approx. 70 km/h,
43 mph and can also display a recommendation
to take a break.
Break recommendations
Adjusting
The attentiveness assistant is automatically ac‐
tive every time drive-ready state is switched on
and can thus display break recommendations.
Break recommendations can also be switched
on or off and adjusted via iDrive.
Via iDrive:
1. "CAR"
2. "Settings"
3. "General settings"
4. "Attentiveness Assistant"
5. Select the desired setting:
▷ "Standard": the break recommendation is
issued with a defined value.
▷ "Sensitive": the break recommendation is
issued earlier.
▷ "Off": no break recommendation is is‐
sued.
Display
If the driver shows signs of decreasing attention
or of fatigue, a message is shown on the Control
Display with the recommendation to take a
break.
The following settings can be selected during
the display.
After a break, another break recommendation
cannot be displayed until after approximately
45 minutes at the earliest.
System limits
The system may have limited functionality in sit‐
uations such as the following and an incorrect
warning, or no warning at all, may be given:
▷ If the time is set incorrectly.
▷ When the speed is predominantly below ap‐
prox. 70 km/h, 43 mph.
