Rest recommendation
General notes
Applies to: vehicles with rest recommendation
Under certain conditions, the system can detect
that the driver needs to take a break.
At the beginning of a trip, the system monitors
the driver's general steering style. Using this as a
reference, the system continuously compares the
current steering input at speeds of between 60
km/h and 200 km/h. If the evaluation of the
steering input implies a lapse in the driver's
con
centration,
the system will then recommend a
break
^>page
111,
Instrument cluster display.
The rest recommendation function is designed
for journeys on motorways and major roads.
System limitations
The rest recommendation function may misinter
pret the steering input in certain driving situa
tions,
such as the following:
- On twisty roads.
- On rough roads.
- In poor weather.
- During performance driving.
- When the driver's attention is distracted.
Resetting the system
The system is automatically reset if
you...
- switch off the ignition.
- release the driver's seat belt and open the driv
er's door.
- drive slower than 60 km/h for a while. If you
subsequently increase your speed again, the
system will reevaluate the driving style.
/\
WARNING
- Never drive when you are
tired.
As a driver
you are always responsible for ensuring that
you
are
fit to drive.
- On
Long
journeys, make sure to take
quate breaks at regular intervals.
ade-
- The system cannot always tell if
you
need a
break.

When you draw closer to a vehicle in front, the
adaptive cruise control matches your speed to
that vehicle by applying the brakes, and then
maintains a constant distance (which you can ad
just in the settings). If the vehicle in front accel
erates, the adaptive cruise control will also accel
erate up to the target speed you have specified.
The higher the speed, the higher the distance

of the driver in front.
If you change the gap, the new setting will be
shown briefly on the instrument cluster display,
