Activating ATTENTION ASSIST X
Activate ATTENTION ASSIST using the on-
board computer (Y page 249).
The system determines the attention level
of the driver depending on the setting
selected:
If Standard
Standard is selected: the sensitivity with
which the system determines the attention
level is set to normal.
If Sensitive
Sensitive is selected: the sensitivity is set
higher. The attention level detected by
ATTENTION ASSIST is adapted accordingly
and the driver is warned earlier.
When ATTENTION ASSIST is deactivated, the é symbol appears in the multifunction
display in the assistance graphic display.
When ATTENTION ASSIST has been deactiva- ted, it is automatically reactivated after the
engine has been switched off. The sensitivity
selected corresponds to the last selection
activated (standard/sensitive).
Warning in the multifunction display If fatigue or increasing lapses in concentra-
tion are detected, a warning appears in the
multifunction display: ATTENTION ASSIST
ATTENTION ASSIST
Take a break!
Take a break! .
In addition to the message shown in the mul-
tifunction display, you will then hear a warn-
ing tone.
X If necessary, take a break.
X Confirm the message by pressing the a
button on the steering wheel.
On long journeys, take regular breaks in good
time that allow for adequate recuperation. If
you do not take a break and ATTEN-
TION ASSIST still detects increasing lapses in
concentration, you will be warned again after
15 minute sat the earliest. This will only hap-
pen if ATTENTION ASSIST still detects typical indicators of fatigue or increasing lapses in
concentration.
If a warning is output in the multifunction dis-
play, a service station search is performed in
COMAND Online. You can select a service
station and navigation to this service station
will then begin. This function can be activated
and deactivated in COMAND Online. Traffic Sign Assist
General notes Traffic Sign Assist displays the maximum
speed permitted and overtaking restrictions
to the driver in the instrument cluster. Driving onto a section of road in the wrong direction
triggers a warning. Traffic Sign Assist detects traffic signs with multifunction camera :
attached at the top of the windscreen. The
data and general traffic regulations stored in
the navigation system are also used to deter- mine the current speed limit.
If a traffic sign that is relevant to your vehicle
is passed, the display of the speed limits and
overtaking restrictions is updated.
The display can also be updated without a
visible traffic sign if:
R the vehicle changes roads (e.g. motorway
exit or slip road)
R a village or town boundary is passed which
is stored in the digital map
R the last traffic sign detected by the camera
has not been repeated Driving systems
223Driving and parking Z
If a sign indicating the end of a restriction
(speed limit or overtaking restriction) is
passed, the sign is displayed for five seconds.
The currently applicable traffic regulation
continues to be shown in the assistance
graphic display (Y page 248).
The camera also detects traffic signs with a
restriction indicated by an additional sign
(e.g. in wet conditions).
The traffic signs are only displayed with the
restrictions if:
R the regulation must be observed with the
restriction, or
R Traffic Sign Assist is unable to determine
whether the restriction applies
If Traffic Sign Assist is unable to determine a
maximum permitted speed from any of the
available sources, no speed limit is displayed
in the instrument cluster either. Traffic Sign Assist is not available in all coun-
tries. In this case, display :is shown in the
multifunction display.
Important safety notes Traffic Sign Assist is only an aid and is not
always able to correctly display speed limits
and overtaking restrictions. Traffic signs
always have priority over the Traffic Sign
Assist display. The system may be either functionally
impaired or temporarily unavailable if:
R visibility is poor, e.g. due to snow, rain, fog
or spray
R there is glare, e.g. from the sun being low in
the sky
R there is dirt, ice or misting on the wind-
screen in the vicinity of the camera
R traffic signs are hard to detect (dirt, ice,
snow)
R the traffic signs are insufficiently lit at night
R signs are ambiguous (e.g. traffic signs on
construction sites or in adjacent lanes)
R the information in the digital street map of
the navigation system is incorrect or out of
date
Activating Traffic Sign Assist X
Activate the Traffic Sign Assist display
using the on-board computer
(Y page 248).
If you have activated the Traffic Sign Assist
display in the on-board computer, the traffic
regulations (speed limits and overtaking
restrictions) are displayed in the instrument
cluster for five seconds respectively. The
wrong-way warning and the traffic sign dis-
play for speed limits and overtaking restric-
tions remain active in the Assist graphic even
when the display has been deactivated.
Instrument cluster display i
The following illustrations are examples of
vehicles with colour multifunction display.
The illustrations of vehicles with black and
white multifunction display differ from
them.
i The unit for the speed limit (km/h or mph)
depends on the country in which you are
driving. It is generally neither shown on the
traffic sign nor on the instrument cluster
but must be taken into account when
observing the maximum permitted speed. 224
