Driver Alert System (recommendation for rest breaks)
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒Introduction 
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. 13  will 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 cluster . The message can be displayed again on the instrument cluster display using the
multifunction display ⇒ Warning and information messages .
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).
Twisting roads.
Poor roads.
Adverse weather conditions.

In the Statistics menu, the lap times most recently achieved are shown. If the maximum number of
99 laps or the maximum time of 99 hours, 59 minutes and 59 seconds has been reached, a new
timing can only be started after the statistics have been reset.

WARNING
Accidents and injuries can occur if the driver is distracted.
Make lap timer settings and access statistics only when the vehicle is stationary.

Always drive carefully and responsibly.

When you start the engine after the 12-volt vehicle battery has been totally discharged or changed,
you may find that system settings (time, date, personal convenience settings and programming) and
user accounts have been changed or deleted. Check and correct the settings as necessary once the
12-volt vehicle battery has been sufficiently charged.

Performance monitor
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒Introduction 
The performance monitor is a display for sporty driving. The digital instruments display real-time
values for engine power, temperature and acceleration that are determined by sensors on the
vehicle. This provides the driver with an overview of driving dynamics.

loads and at high outside temperatures. This is no cause for concern unless the indicator lamp
in the instrument cluster display is lit up or flashing ⇒ Engine oil .
Adapting the display areas to the driving situation
Choose the three possible instruments corresponding to your individual driving style and the driving
situation.

WARNING
Accidents and injuries can occur if the driver is distracted. Operating the Infotainment system can
distract you from the road.
Always drive carefully and responsibly.

NOTICE
When starting from cold, avoid high engine speeds, driving at full throttle and over-loading the
engine.

Due to the principle of performance determination used in the vehicle, the physical accuracy of the
displayed values is not guaranteed.
Lap timer
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒Introduction 
The lap timer provides you with the option of timing your own laps manually in the vehicle on a race
track, storing the times and comparing them with previously measured best times.

The airbags can protect vehicle occupants during frontal and side collisions by reducing their
movement in the direction of the collision.
Each triggered airbag is filled by a gas generator. This causes the airbag covers to break open and the
airbags inflate forcefully to cover their deployment zones within milliseconds. Once a vehicle
occupant wearing a seat belt starts to sink into the inflated airbag, the gas inside the airbag starts to
escape to cushion the occupant and slow down their movement. This reduces the risk of severe and
fatal injuries. A triggered airbag will not always prevent other injuries from occurring, such as
swelling, bruising, burning and grazing. Deployment of an airbag can also result in frictional heat.
The most important factors for triggering the airbag are the type of accident, the angle of impact,
the vehicle speed and the type of object with which the vehicle collides. Therefore, visible damage
to the vehicle does not always mean that the airbag should have been triggered.
The triggering of the airbag system depends on the vehicle deceleration rate caused by the collision
and registered by the electronic control unit. If this rate is below the reference value programmed
into the control unit, the airbags will not be triggered, even though the vehicle may be badly
damaged as a result of the collision. Vehicle damage, repair costs or even the lack of vehicle damage
in an accident is not necessarily an indication of whether an airbag should inflate or not. It is not
possible to define a range of vehicle speeds and reference values, since the circumstances will vary
considerably between one collision and another. It is therefore impossible to cover every possible
kind and angle of impact that would trigger the airbags. Important factors in the triggering of the
airbag include, for example, the nature (hard or soft) of the object that the vehicle hits, the angle of
impact as well as vehicle speed.
Airbags serve only as a supplement to the three-point seat belt in some accident situations when the
vehicle's deceleration is sufficient to trigger the airbags. Airbags can be triggered only once and only
in certain situations. The seat belts are always there to provide protection in situations when the
airbags are not triggered or have already been triggered. For example, if the vehicle collides with a
further vehicle following the initial collision, or is hit by another vehicle.
The airbag system is part of the vehicle's overall passive safety concept. The airbag system can work
effectively only when the occupants are wearing their seat belts correctly and have assumed a
proper sitting position ⇒ Sitting position .
Components of the vehicle safety concept
The following vehicle safety equipment makes up the vehicle's safety concept to reduce the risk of
severe and fatal injuries. Depending on the vehicle equipment level, some of the equipment may not
be fitted in your vehicle or may not be available in some countries.
Optimised seat belts for all seats.
Front airbags for driver and front passenger.
Airbag indicator lamp .
Control units and sensors.
Adjustable steering column.
If applicable, mounting points for the top tether for child seats.

Insert the latch plate into the buckle for the appropriate seat and push it down until it audible locks
into place.
In an emergency
Making you and your vehicle safe
Observe any legislation concerning the safety of a broken-down vehicle. For example, many
countries stipulate that you have to switch on the hazard warning lights and wear a high-visibility
waistcoat ⇒ Equipment for an emergency .
Checklist
To ensure your own safety and that of your passengers, carry out the following actions in the
specified order ⇒ :

Stop the vehicle at a safe distance away from moving traffic and on a suitable surface .

Switch on the hazard warning lights using the button Centre console.

Switch on the electronic parking brake Electronic parking brake.

Select the neutral position Manual gearbox: selecting a gear or move the selector lever to P position
