General notes ATTENTION ASSIST helps you during long,
monotonous journeys such as on motorways and trunk roads. It is active in the 80 km/h to
180 km/h range.
If ATTENTION ASSIST detects typical indica-
tors of fatigue or increasing lapses in con-
centration on the part of the driver, it sug-
gests taking a break.
Important safety notes ATTENTION ASSIST is only an aid. It cannot
always detect fatigue or lapses in concentra-
tion until too late or not at all. The system is
not a substitute for a well-rested and atten-
tive driver.
ATTENTION ASSIST assesses your level of
fatigue or lapses in concentration by taking
the following criteria into account:
R your personal driving style, e.g. steering
characteristics
R journey-related parameters, e.g. time of
day, length of journey
The functionality of ATTENTION ASSIST is
restricted, and warnings may be delayed or
not occur at all:
R if the road condition is poor, e.g. if the sur-
face is uneven or if there are potholes
R if there is a strong side wind Driving systems

Approved aerial positions
:
Front roof area
; Rear roof area
= Rear wing
i On vehicles with panorama sliding sun-
roof, fitting an aerial to the front roof area is not permitted.
On the rear wing, it is recommended that
you position the aerial on the side of the
vehicle closest to the centre of the road.
Use Technical Specification ISO/TS 21609
(Road Vehicles – "EMC guidelines for fitting
aftermarket radio frequency transmitting
equipment") when retrofitting RF (radio fre-
quency) transmitters. Comply with the legal
requirements for add-on parts.
If your vehicle has fittings for two-way radio
equipment, use the power supply or aerial
connections intended for use with the basic
wiring. Be sure to observe the manufacturer's additional instructions when installing.
Deviations with respect to wavebands, maxi-
mum transmission outputs or aerial positions must be approved by Mercedes-Benz. The maximum transmission output (PEAK) at
the base of the aerial must not exceed the
following values: Waveband Maximum
transmission output Short wave
3 - 54 MHz 100 W
4 m waveband
68 - 87.5 MHz 30 W
2 m waveband
144 - 174 MHz 50 W
Trunked radio/Tetra
380 - 460 MHz 35 W
70 cm waveband
400 - 460 MHz 35 W
GSM/DCS/PCS
850/900/1800/1900 10 W
UMTS/LTE 10 W
The following can be used in the vehicle with-
out restrictions:
R RF transmitters with a maximum transmis-
sion output of up to 100 mW
R mobile phones (GSM/DCS/PCS/UMTS/
LTE)
There are no restrictions when positioning the aerial on the outside of the vehicle for the fol-
lowing wavebands:
R Trunked radio/Tetra
R 70 cm waveband
R GSM/DCS/PCS
R UMTS/LTE Vehicle electronics
