The warning and indicator lamps indicate various warnings, faults or certain functions. Some

engine is running or the vehicle is in motion.
Depending on the vehicle equipment level, symbols may be displayed in the instrument cluster
instead of warning lamps.

The driver is distracted.
The Driver Alert System is reset in the following situations:
The ignition is switched off.
The driver seat belt is unfastened and the driver door is opened.
The vehicle has been stationary for longer than 15 minutes.
The Driver Alert System is automatically reset in the event of an extended period of driving at slow
speeds (speed less than 60 km/h (37 mph)). When the speed is increased again, the system
evaluates the driving behaviour once more.

WARNING
The intelligent technology used in the Driver Alert System cannot overcome the laws of physics, and
functions only within the limits of the system. Do not let the extra convenience afforded by the
Driver Alert System tempt you into taking any risks when driving. During a long trip, plan regular and
sufficient breaks.
The driver is responsible at all times for their fitness to drive.
Never drive a vehicle when you are tired.
The system cannot always detect the driver's level of alertness. Observe the information in the
Function limitations section.
In certain situations, the system may wrongly interpret intentional driving manoeuvres as a lack of
alertness from the driver.
No urgent warning will be given in the event of the phenomenon known as microsleep.
Observe the information in the instrument cluster display and act according to the commands.

The Driver Alert System has been developed for use only while driving on motorways and good
roads.

If there is a system fault, go to a qualified workshop and have the system checked.

Dynamic Road Sign Display (Sign Assist)

Fig. 14 On the instrument cluster display: examples of recognised speed limits and overtaking
restrictions with accompanying additional signs.
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒Introduction 
Dynamic Road Sign Display uses a camera in the base of the interior mirror to monitor standard road
signs and informs the driver of any detected speed limits or overtaking restrictions. Within the limits
of the system, the system also displays additional signs, e.g. temporary restrictions, signs related to
towing a trailer ⇒ Trailer towing  or restrictions in wet weather conditions. In some cases, the
system can also display the current speed limits on non-signposted routes.
Displays
In addition to speed limits and overtaking restrictions, Dynamic Road Sign Display also detects the
sign which indicates that all restrictions have been lifted on motorways and main roads in Germany.
In all other countries, the currently valid speed limit is displayed instead.
The road signs detected by Dynamic Road Sign Display are displayed on the instrument cluster
⇒ Fig. 14  and in some cases also on the Infotainment system, depending on which version is
installed in the vehicle. In some equipment levels, a display is also shown on the Head-up Display
⇒ Instrument cluster .
