ATTENTION ASSIST<br />
Important safety notes<br />
ATTENTION ASSIST helps you during long,<br />
monotonous journeys, such as on highways<br />
and arterial roads. It is active at speeds<br />
between 50 mph (80 km/h) and 112 mph<br />
(180 km/h).<br />
If ATTENTION ASSIST detects fatigue or<br />
increasing lapses in concentration on the part<br />
of the driver, it suggests taking a break.<br />
G Warning!<br />
The ATTENTION ASSIST is only an aid to the<br />
driver. It might not recognize fatigue or<br />
increasing inattentiveness in time or fail to<br />
recognize them at all. The system cannot<br />
substitute a rested and attentive driver.<br />
Fatigue can cause you to recognize dangers<br />
too late, to misjudge potential dangers, or to<br />
react slower. Therefore, make sure to be<br />
rested before and during your trip. Take rests<br />
early enough and regularly, especially during<br />
long trips. Failure to do so could cause you to<br />
recognize dangers too late which could result<br />
in an accident and serious injury to you and/<br />
or others.<br />
ATTENTION ASSIST assesses your level of<br />
fatigue or lapses in concentration by taking<br />
the following criteria into account:<br />
Ryour personal driving style, e.g. steering<br />
characteristics<br />
Rjourney details, e.g. time of day and length<br />
of journey<br />
The functionality of ATTENTION ASSIST is<br />
restricted and warnings may be delayed or<br />
not occur at all:<br />
Rif the road condition is poor, e.g. if the<br />
surface is uneven or if there are potholes<br />
Rif there is a strong side wind<br />
Rif you have adopted a sporty driving style<br />
with high cornering speeds or high rates of<br />
acceleration<br />
Rif you predominantly drive at speeds under<br />
50 mph (80 km/h) or over 112 mph<br />
(180 km/h)<br />
Rif you are currently using COMAND or<br />
making a telephone call with it<br />
Rif the time has been set incorrectly<br />
Rin active driving situations, such as when<br />
you change lanes or change your speed<br />
