ATTENTION ASSIST detects typical indicators
of fatigue or increasing lapses in
concentration on the part of the driver, it
suggests taking a break.234

Important safety notes
ATTENTION ASSIST is only an aid to the
driver. It might not always recognize fatigue
or increasing inattentiveness in time or fail to
recognize them at all. The system is not a
substitute for a well-rested and attentive
driver.
The functionality of ATTENTION ASSIST is
restricted and warnings may be delayed or
not occur at all:
R if the length of the journey is less than
approximately 30 minutes
R if the road condition is poor, e.g. if the
surface is uneven or if there are potholes
R if there is a strong side wind
R if you have adopted a sporty driving style
with high cornering speeds or high rates of
acceleration
R if you are predominantly driving slower
than 37 mph (60 km/h) or faster than
125 mph (200 km/h)
R if you are driving with the active Steer
Assist of DISTRONIC PLUS
R if the time has been set incorrectly
R in active driving situations, such as when
you change lanes or change your speed
ATTENTION ASSIST is reset when you
continue your journey and starts assessing
your tiredness again if:
R you switch off the engine.
R you take off your seat belt and open the
driver's door, e.g. for a change of drivers or
to take a break. Displaying the attention level You can have current status information
displayed in the assistance menu
(Y
page 259) of the on-board computer.
X Select the Assistance display for Attention
Assist using the on-board computer
(Y page 258).
The following information is displayed:
R length of the journey since the last break.
R the attention level determined by
ATTENTION ASSIST, displayed in a bar
display in five levels from high to low.
R if ATTENTION ASSIST is unable to calculate
the attention level and cannot output a
warning, the System Passive System Passive message
appears. The bar display then changes the
display, e.g. if you are driving at a speed
below 37 mph (60 km/h) or above
124 mph (200 km/h).
Activating ATTENTION ASSIST X
Activate ATTENTION ASSIST using the on-
board computer (Y page 261).
The system determines the attention level
of the driver depending on the setting
