faded road signs
signs located in a curve in the road
twisted or damaged signs
signs positioned high above the road
fully/partially obstructed or poorly positionedsigns
signs partially or fully covered by frost, snowand/or dirt
digital road maps97 that are outdated, incor-
rect or do not contain speed information98.

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".
