Attention Assist - function description
Note:
The warning generated by Attention Assist
is issued independently of legally enforced
rules for driving and rest times or the
functions of the digital tachograph.
Attention Assist evaluates your
drowsiness or an increasing level of
inattention by taking the following
criteria into consideration:
Personal driving style, e.g. steering
behaviour
Journey conditions, e.g. driving time
Attention Assist functionality is restricted
and a warning is given later or not at all
if you predominantly drive slower
than 35 mph (60 km/h)
on winding roads
M68.00-0573-71
Whenever Attention Assist detects the
typical signs of drowsiness or an
increasing level of driver inattention
the two seat motors vibrate (same
motors used by the lane assistant
warning system).
the on-board computer displays a yel-
low event window (1) with the mes-
sage “ATTENTION ASSIST: Pause”
(Take a break).
The driver can acknowledge this mes-
sage by pressing “OK” button (3) on
the left-hand button pad on the steer-
ing wheel.
Note:
However, yellow status message (2) at
the bottom of the display screen will con-
tinue to be displayed.
Take regular and timely breaks on long
journeys. If you do not take a break,
Attention Assist may not warn you again
for at least another 15 minutes.
Attention Assist will clear its evaluation
and start over when you resume the
journey
after a relatively long period at a
standstill
if you switch off the engine.
Attention Assist is always activated
after an engine start. You can activate
and deactivate Attention Assist in the
“Systeme” (Systems) submenu in the
“Einstellungen” (Settings) main menu.
