Sensitive
Sensitive
selected: the sensitivity is set
higher. The attention level detected by ATTEN-
TION ASSIST is adapted accordingly and the
driver is warned earlier.
When ATTENTION ASSIST is deactivated, the
é symbol appears in the multifunction dis-
play in the assistance graphic display.
When ATTENTION ASSIST has been deactivated, it is automatically reactivated after the engine
has been switched off. The sensitivity selected
corresponds to the last selection activated
(standard/sensitive).
Warning on the multifunction display If fatigue or increasing lapses in concentration
are detected, a warning appears in the multi-
function display: ATTENTION ASSIST
ATTENTION ASSIST Take a Take a
break! break!
In addition to the message shown on the multi-
function display, you will then hear a warning
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 that allow for adequate refreshment. If you do not take a
break and ATTENTION ASSIST still detects
increasing lapses in concentration, you will be
warned again after 15 minutes at the earliest.
This will happen only if ATTENTION ASSIST still
detects typical indicators of fatigue or increas-
ing lapses in concentration.
Vehicles with multimedia system COMAND
Online: if a warning is output in the multifunc-
tion display, a service station search is per-
formed in the multimedia system. You can
select a service station and you will then be
navigated to this service station. This function
can be activated or deactivated in the multime- dia system; see Digital Owner's Manual. 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 sys-
tem are also used to determine the current
speed limit.
If a traffic sign that is relevant to your vehicle is passed, the display of the speed limits and over-
taking restrictions is updated.
The display can also be updated without a visible traffic sign in the following situations:
R the vehicle changes roads (e.g. motorway exit
or slip road)
R a village or town boundary that is stored in the
digital map is passed
R the last traffic sign detected by the camera
has not been repeated
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 226).
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
restriction if:
R the regulation must be observed with the
restriction, or
R Traffic Sign Assist is unable to determine
whether the restriction applies Driving systems
207Driving and parking Z
If Traffic Sign Assist is unable to determine a
maximum permitted speed from any of the avail- able 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 over-
taking restrictions. Traffic signs always have pri-
ority over the Traffic Sign Assist display.
The system may be either functionally impaired
or temporarily unavailable in the following sit-
uations:
R Visibility is poor, e.g. due to snow, rain, fog or
spray
R Glare, e.g. from the sun being low in the sky
R Dirt, ice or misting on the windscreen in the
vicinity of the camera
R Traffic signs are hard to detect (dirt, ice,
snow)
R Traffic signs are insufficiently lit at night
R Signs are ambiguous (e.g. traffic signs on con-
struction sites or in adjacent lanes)
R Information in the digital street map of the
navigation system is incorrect or out of date
Activating Traffic Sign Assist If you have activated the Traffic Sign Assist dis-
play in the on-board computer, the traffic regu-
lations (speed limits and overtaking restrictions)
are displayed in the instrument cluster for five
seconds in each case. The wrong-way warning
and the traffic sign display for speed limits and
overtaking restrictions remain active in the assistance graphic even when the display has
been deactivated.
X Activate the Traffic Sign Assist display using
the on-board computer (Y page 226).
Instrument cluster display Speed limit with unknown restriction
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 driv-
ing. It is generally shown neither on the traffic
sign nor in the instrument cluster but must be
taken into account when observing the max-
imum permitted speed. :
Maximum permissible speed
; Maximum permissible speed for vehicles for
which the restriction in the additional sign is
relevant
= Additional sign for unknown restriction
A maximum permissible speed of 80 km/h
(80 mph) and a speed limit of 60 km/h (60 mph) with an unknown restriction apply. 208
