ATTENTION ASSIST
Function of ATTENTION ASSIST
ATTENTION ASSIST can assist you on long,
monotonous journeys, e.g. on highways and trunk
roads. If ATTENTION ASSIST detects indicators of
fatigue or increased lapses in concentration on
the part of the driver, it suggests taking a break.
ATTENTION ASSIST is only an aid. It cannot
always detect drowsiness or increased lapses in
concentration in good time. The system is not a
substitute for a well-rested and attentive driver.
On long journeys, take regular and timely breaks
that allow you to rest properly.
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 the system (Attention Level) is
adapted accordingly.
If fatigue or increased lapses in concentration are
detected, the ATTENTION ASSIST: Take a Break!
warning appears in the instrument display. You
can acknowledge the message and take a break if
necessary. If you do not take a break and ATTEN‐
TION ASSIST continues to detect increased lap‐
ses in concentration, you will be warned again
after a minimum of 15 minutes.
Instrument Display (color display)
You can have the following status information for
ATTENTION ASSIST displayed in the Assistance
menu of the on-board computer:

ASSIST:
