AT TENTION ASSIST assists you on long, mono to-
nous journe ys, e.g. on mo torw ays and trunk
ro ads. If ATTENTION ASSIST de tects indicators of
fa tigue or increasing lapses in concentration on
th e part of the driver, it suggests taking a break.
AT TENTION ASSIST is only an aid. It cannot
alw ays de tect fatigue or lapses in concentration in
time. The system is not a substitute for a well-res-
te d and attentive driver. On long journe ys,ta ke
re gular breaks in good time that allow for ade-
qu ate recuperation.
Yo u can choose between two settings:
R St Standar andar d:

R Sensitiv
Sensitiv e:

is wa rned earlier and the attention le vel de tec-

tion are de tected, theATTENTION ASSIST: Take

increasing lapses in concentration, you will be
wa rned again aTer a minimum of 15 minutes. Yo
