self off.
EJ
Traffic sign recognition: currently restricted
This message appears, for instance, in the event
of a navigation system fault. The Limited func
tionality may cause fewer speed limits to be dis
played (which increases the possibility of an er
ror).
Traffic sign based speed warning: currently
unavailable. See owner's manual
No warning will be given if the selected warning
threshold is exceeded.
Traffic sign recognition: system fault
The function of the system is impaired; the sys
tem will be deactivated. Drive to a qualified
workshop soon.
No traffic sign recognised
No relevant navigation data are available, and no
speed limit has been detected.
Traffic sign recognition: outside operational
area
Function unavailable in this country
The vehicLe is being driven in a country outside
the system's operational area.
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.

Airbag system

The head-protection airbag system is triggered in
certain types of side collision
^>Fig.
235. Further
airbag systems may also be triggered, depending
on the circumstances.
When the system is triggered, the airbag fills
with a propellant gas and covers the entire area
in front of the side windows, including the door
pillars. The head-protection airbag inflates to
soften the impact if an occupant strikes parts of
the interior or objects outside the vehicLe with
their head. By reducing the head impact and re
straining uncontrolled movement of the head,
the airbag also reduces the forces acting on the
neck.
In order to provide the desired extra protection in
an accident, the airbags have to inflate extremely
rapidly (within fractions of
a
second).
Important safety notes on the head-
protection airbags
There
are a number of safety points concerning
the airbag system which you should remember.
This will help to reduce the risk of injury in an ac
cident.
A WARNING
- It is important to ensure that the area
around the openings for the head-protec
tion airbags remains unobstructed at all
times,
so that the airbags can infLate prop
erly if needed.
- The built-in coat hooks should only be used
for lightweight clothing. Do not leave any
heavy or sharp-edged objects in the pockets.
When using the coat hooks, do not hang the
clothes on coat hangers.
- The space between the passengers and the
head-protection airbags must never be oc
cupied by children, other passengers or
pets.
Passengers should never lean out or
put
a
hand
or
arm out of the window while
the vehicle is in motion.
- Do not move the sun visors out to cover the
side windows if there is anything attached
to them (such as pens or
a
garage door
opener). These objects could cause injury if
the head-protection airbag is triggered.
The sensors for the airbags are Located in
the front doors. You must therefore not
make any modifications to the doors or door
trim (e.g. retrofitting loudspeakers),
as
this
could impair the function of the side air-
bags.
Any damage to the front doors could
Lead to faults in the system. Repairs or any
other work on the front doors must there
fore always be carried out by
a
qualified
workshop.
Sun blinds fitted on the rear doors must not
obstruct or impair the airbags in any way.
If unsuitable accessories are installed near
the head-protection airbag, the protection
afforded by the airbag can be seriously im
paired if the system is triggered. When the
head-protection airbag opens, parts of
these accessories could be thrown into the
vehicle and injure passengers
^>page
340.
Any work involving the head-protection air-
bags,
or removal and installation of the air-
bag components for other repairs (such as
repairs to the roof liner), must always be
performed by
a
qualified workshop. Other
wise the airbag system may fail to work
properly.
