ATTENTION ASSIST
Function ofATTENTION ASSISTATTENTION ASSIST assistsyou on long, monoto‐nous journeys, e.g. on highways and trunkroads.IfATTENTION ASSIST detects indicators offati‐gue or increasing lapses in concentration onthepart ofthe driver, it suggeststaking a break.
ATTENTION ASSIST is only an aid. It cannotalways detectfatigue or lapses in concentrationin time. The system is not a substitutefor awell-rested and attentive driver. On long journeys,takeregular breaks in good timethat allowforadequaterecuperation.
You canchoose between two settings.
RStandard:normal system sensitivity.
RSensitive:higher system sensitivity. Thedriver iswarned earlier andthe attentionlevel detectedbyATTENTION ASSIST is adap‐ted accordingly.
If drowsiness or increasing lapses in concentra‐tion are detected,theATTENTION ASSIST: Takea Break!warning appears inthe Instrument Dis‐play.You can acknowledgethe message andtake a break where necessary.Ifyou do nottakea break andATTENTION ASSIST continuestodetect increasing lapses in concentration,youwill bewarned again after a minimum of15minutes.
You can havethefollowingstatus informationforATTENTION ASSIST displayed inthe assistancemenu ofthe on-board computer:

these are installed onthevehicle, but does notinclude passengers or luggage.
Maximum tire load:the maximum tire load isthe maximum permissibleweight in kilograms orlbsfor whicha tire is approved.
Maximum permissible tire pressure:maxi‐mum permissible tire pressurefor one tire.
Maximum load on one tire:maximum load onone tire. This is calculatedbydividingthe maxi‐mum axle load of one axlebytwo.
PSI (pounds per square inch):standard unit ofmeasurementfor tire pressure.
Aspectratio:ratio between tire height and tirewidth in percent.
Tirepressure:pressure insidethe tire applyingan outwardforcetoeverysquare inch ofthe tire.The tire pressure is specified in pounds persquare inch (psi), in kilopascals (kPa) or in bar.The tire pressure should only be corrected whenthe tires are cold.
Cold tire pressure:the tires are cold whenthevehicle has been parkedfor at least3 hours
without direct sunlight onthe tires orthevehiclehas been drivenfor lessthan 1 mile (1.6 km).
Tirecontact surface:the part ofthe tirethatcomes into contact with theroad.
Tirebead:the purpose ofthe tire bead istoensurethatthe tire sits securely onthe wheelrim. There are several wire cores inthe tire beadtopreventthe tire fromchanging length onthewheelrim.
Sidewall:the part ofthe tire betweenthe treadandthe tire bead.
Weight of optional equipment:the combinedweight ofthe optional equipmentweighing morethanthereplacedstandard parts and morethan5 lbs (2.3kg).This optional equipment, such ashigh-performance brakes, level control system, aroof luggagerackor high-performance batteries,is not included inthe curbweight andtheweightofthe accessories.
TIN (Tire IdentificationNumber):a uniqueidentification number which can be usedby atire manufacturertoidentify tires,forexample,in a productrecall, andthus identifythe pur‐chasers. The TIN is made up ofthe manufactur‐
er's identity code, tire size, tire type code andthe manufacturing date.
Load-bearing index:the load-bearing index is acodethat containsthe maximum load-bearingcapacity of a tire.
Traction:traction isthe gripresulting from fric‐tion betweenthe tires andtheroad surface.
Wear indicator:narrowbars (treadwear bars)that are distributedoverthe tire contact surface.Ifthe tire tread is level withthe bars,thewearlimit of 1/16in (1.6 mm) has beenreached.
Distribution ofvehicle occupants:distributionofvehicle occupantsover designated seat posi‐tions in avehicle.
Maximum permissible payloadweight:nomi‐nal load and luggage load plus150 lb (68kg)multipliedbythe number of seats inthevehicle.
