The Driver Alert System informs the driver if their driving shows signs of tiredness. 
 
Fig. 13 On the instrument cluster display: Driver Alert System symbol. 
Function and operation 
The Driver Alert System determines the driving behaviour of the driver at the start of a journey and 
uses this to calculate a fatigue assessment. This is continuously compared with the current 
behaviour of the driver while driving. If the system detects that the driver may be tired, an acoustic 
warning signal will sound and a symbol Fig. 13will be displayed on the instrument cluster display 
as a visual indication in combination with a supplementary text message. The message in the 
instrument cluster display is displayed for about five seconds and may be repeated once. The last 
displayed message is saved by the system. 
The message on the instrument cluster display can be switched off by pressing the  
button on the wiper lever or the  button on the multifunction steering wheel Operating the 
instrument clustere can be displayed again on the instrument cluster display using the 
multifunction display W
Function conditions 
The driving behaviour can be evaluated only when the speed is above 60 km/h (37 mph) up to 
approximately 200 km/h (125 mph). 
Switching on and off 
The Driver Alert System can be activated and deactivated in the vehicle settings in the Infotainment 
system Vehicle settings menu 
Function limitations 
The Driver Alert System has system-related limitations. The following conditions can limit the 
function of the Driver Alert System, or prevent it from working altogether: 
Speeds below 60 km/h (37 mph). 
Speeds above 200 km/h (125 mph).
