WARNING
The Driver Alert Control function is sup-plementary driver support intended tofacilitate driving and help make it safer –it cannot handle all situations in all traffic,weather and road conditions.
Driver Alert Control must not be used toextend a period of driving. The drivershould plan in breaks at regular intervalsand make sure they are well rested.
Driver Alert Control is not a substitute forthe driver's attention and judgment. Thedriver is always responsible for ensuringthe vehicle is driven in a safe manner, atthe appropriate speed, with an appropri-ate distance to other vehicles, and inaccordance with current traffic rules andregulations.
WARNING
An alarm from Driver Alert Control should betaken very seriously since a sleepy driver isoften not aware of their own condition.
If the alarm sounds or you feel fatigued:
Stop the vehicle safely as soon as possi-ble and rest.
Studies have shown that it is just as danger-ous to drive while tired as it is to drive underthe influence of alcohol or other stimulants.

Driver Alert Control limitations
Driver Alert Control (DAC) functionality may bereduced in certain situations.
In certain situations, the system may provide awarning even if it has not detected a change indriving behavior, e.g.:
in strong crosswinds
on grooved road surfaces.
WARNING
In certain cases, driving behavior might not beaffected despite the driver's fatigue – whenusing the Pilot Assist function – resulting inthe driver not getting a warning from DAC.
It is therefore very important to always stopand take a break at the slightest sign of fati-gue, regardless of whether the DAC functionhas issued a warning or not.
NOTE
The function uses the vehicle's camera unit,which has some general limitations – see thesection "Camera unit limitations".

The function may have limited functionality incertain situations and not intervene, e.g.:
for smaller vehicles such as motorcycles
if more than half of your vehicle has movedinto the adjacent lane
on roads/lanes with indistinct or no side lanemarkings
outside the speed range 60-140 km/h(37-87 mph)
when the power steering works at reducedpower - e.g. during cooling due to overheat-ing (see section "Speed-dependent steeringforce").
Functionality may also be reduced in other situa-tions, such as:
road work
winter driving conditions
narrow roads
poor road surfaces
a very sporty driving style
bad weather with reduced visibility.
In these demanding driving conditions, the func-tion may not be able to properly assist the driver.In these situations, it is recommended that it isturned off.
