Conditions of operation
Driving behaviour is only calculated on
speeds above about 65 km/h (40 mph) up to
around 200 km/h (125 mph).
Switching on and off
Tiredness detection can be activated or deac-
tivated in the Easy Connect system with the
button and the function button

pag e 107. A mark indicates that the ad-
ju
stment has been activated.
System limitations
The Tiredness detection has certain limita-
tions inherent to the system. The following
conditions can limit the Tiredness detection
or prevent it from functioning.
● At speeds below 65 km/h (40 mph)
● At speeds above 200 km/h (125 mph)
● When cornering
● On roads in poor condition
● In unfavourable weather conditions
● When a sporty driving style is employed
● In the event of a serious distraction to the
driver Tir
edne
ss detection will be restored when the
vehicl
e is stopped for more than 15 minutes,
when the ignition is switched off or when the
driver has unbuckled their seat belt and
opened the door.
In the event of slow driving during a long pe-
riod of time (below 65 km/h (40 mph) the
system automatically re-establishes the tired-
ness calculation. When driving at a faster
speed the driving behaviour will be recalcula-
ted.
