Fatigue detection
The fatigue detection system (hereinafter referred to as system) recommends
the driver takes a break from driving when driver fatigue can be detected due
to the driver's steering behaviour.
From the starting of the journey, the system evaluates the steering behaviour
at speeds 65-200 km/h. If, while driving, there have been changes in the steer-
ing behaviours that are evaluated by the system as indicating possible fatigue,
a break recommendation is issued.
Conditions under which a break from driving is detected by the system ▶ The vehicle is stopped and the ignition switched off.
▶ The vehicle is stopped, the seat belt removed and the driver's door opened.
▶ The vehicle is stopped for more than 15 minutes.
If none of these conditions are met or if the driving style is not changed, the
system recommends a driving break again after 15 minutes.
The system can be activated / deactivated in MAXI DOT display » page 43.
Pause recommendation
The icon appears and the following message for a few seconds in the display
of the instrument cluster  and a message about the detected fatigue. An au-
dible signal is also emitted.
WARNING■ The general information relating to the use of assistance systems must
be observed » page 110, in section General information .■
For the driving ability is always the driver's responsibility. Never drive if
you feel tired.
■
The system may not detect all cases where a break is needed.
■
Therefore, take regular, sufficient breaks during long trips.
■
There will be no system warning during the so-called micro-sleep. 
122Driving

Note■In some situations, the system may evaluate the driving incorrectly and thus
mistakenly recommend a break (e.g. sporty driving, adverse weather condi-
tions or poor road conditions).■
The system is designed primarily for use on motorways.

In order to reduce pollutant emissions from vehicles with diesel engines and
the SCR catalyst, a urea - AdBlue ®
solution is injected into the exhaust system.
Only use AdBlue ®
that corresponds to the standard ISO 22241-1. Do not add
additives to AdBlue ®
.
The AdBlue ®
consumption is approx. 1.2 l - 1.6 l/1000 km, depending on driving
style, the operating temperature of the system and on the weather conditions.
AdBlue ®
-tank filling level is about 8.5 litres.
WARNINGAdBlue®
can cause skin, eye and respiratory irritation. If your eyes or skin
come into contact with the AdBlue ®
fluid, immediately wash the affected
area for a few minutes with a lot of water. If necessary get medical assis-
tance.
CAUTION
AdBlue ®
attacks the surface of some materials (e.g. as painted parts, plastics,
fabrics). Clean the areas affected with AdBlue ®
using a damp cloth and plenty
of cold water. Remove any dried AdBlue ®
with warm water and a sponge.
Note
■ The AdBlue ®
solution freezes at a temperature of -11 °C and below. The sys-
tem has a heater to ensure the operability at low temperatures.■
