Function of Cross Traffic Alert
%
Also read the instructions on Blind Spot
Assist (

page 193).
Vehicles with Blind Spot Assist: Drivers can
also be warned of any crossing traffic when
backing out of a parking space. If a critical situa‐
tion is detected, a warning symbol appears on
the camera image of the multimedia system. If
the driver does not respond to the warning, the
vehicle's brakes can be applied automatically. To
do this, the function uses the radar sensors in
the bumper. The area adjacent to the vehicle is
continually monitored.
If the radar sensors are obstructed by vehicles
or other objects, detection is not possible.
The Cross Traffic Alert function is active under
the following conditions:
R
If Blind Spot Assist is activated.
R
If the vehicle is backing up at walking pace.
R
If the maneuvering assistant function is acti‐
vated in the multimedia system.
The Cross Traffic Alert function is not available
on inclines.

ATTENTION ASSIST
Function of ATTENTION ASSIST
ATTENTION ASSIST assists you on long, monoto‐
nous journeys, e.g. on freeways and trunk roads.
If ATTENTION ASSIST detects indicators of fati‐
gue or increasing lapses in concentration on the
part of the driver, it suggests taking a break.
ATTENTION ASSIST is only an aid. It cannot
always detect fatigue or lapses in concentration
until too late. The system is not a substitute for a
well-rested and attentive driver. On long jour‐
neys, take regular breaks in good time that allow
for adequate recuperation.
You can choose between two settings.
R
Standard: normal system sensitivity
R
Sensitive: higher system sensitivity. The
driver is warned earlier and the attention
level detected by ATTENTION ASSIST is adap‐
ted accordingly.
If drowsiness or increasing lapses in concentra‐
tion are detected, the
warning appears in the Instrument Dis‐
play. You can acknowledge the message and
take a break where necessary. If you do not take
a break and ATTENTION ASSIST continues to
detect increasing lapses in concentration, you
will be warned again after a minimum of
15 minutes.
