General notes ATTENTION ASSIST helps you during long,
monotonous journeys such as on motorways
and trunk roads. It is active in the 60 km/h to
200 km/h speed range. If ATTENTION ASSIST detects typical indicators of fatigue or increas-
ing lapses in concentration on the part of the
driver, it suggests taking a break.
Important safety notes ATTENTION ASSIST is only an aid. It may not
always detect fatigue or lapses in concentration
until too late, or may not detect them at all. The system is not a substitute for a well-rested and
attentive driver.
The functionality of ATTENTION ASSIST is
restricted, and warnings may be delayed or not
occur at all:
R if the length of the journey is less than approx-
imately 30 minutes
R if the road condition is poor, e.g. if the surface
is uneven or if there are potholes
R if there is a strong side wind
R if you have adopted a sporty driving style with
high cornering speeds or high rates of accel-
eration
R if you are predominantly driving at a speed
below 60 km/h or above 200 km/h
R if the time has been set incorrectly
R in active driving situations, such as when you
change lanes or change your speed
ATTENTION ASSIST is reset and starts assessing
your tiredness again when you continue your
journey if:
R you switch off the engine
R you take off your seat belt and open the driv-
er's door, e.g. for a change of drivers or to
take a break
Displaying the attention level You can have current status information dis-
played in the assistance menu (Y
page 182) of
the on-board computer. Driving systems

Select the assistance graphics display for
ATTENTION ASSIST using the on-board com-
puter (Y page 182).
The following information is displayed:
R the length of the journey since the last break
R the attention level determined by ATTENTION
ASSIST ( Attention level
Attention level), displayed in a
bar display in five levels from high to low
R if ATTENTION ASSIST is unable to calculate
the attention level and cannot issue a warn-
ing, the System suspended
System suspended message
appears. The bar display then changes the
display, e.g. if you are driving at a speed below 60 km/h or above 200 km/h.
Activating ATTENTION ASSIST X
Activate ATTENTION ASSIST using the on-
board computer (Y page 183).
The system determines the attention level of
the driver depending on the setting selected:
If Standard
Standard is selected: the sensitivity with
which the system determines the attention level
is set to normal.
If Sensitive Sensitive is selected: the sensitivity is set
higher. The attention level detected by ATTEN-
TION ASSIST is adapted accordingly and the
driver is warned earlier.
When ATTENTION ASSIST is deactivated, the
é symbol appears in the multifunction dis-
play in the assistance graphic display.
When ATTENTION ASSIST has been deactivated, it is automatically reactivated after the engine
has been switched off. The sensitivity selected
corresponds to the last selection activated
(standard/sensitive).
Warning in the multifunction display If fatigue or increasing lapses in concentration
are detected, a warning appears in the multi-
function display:
ATTENTION ASSIST ATTENTION ASSIST Take a
Take a
break!
break!.
In addition to the message shown in the multi-
function display, you will then hear a warning
tone.
X If necessary, take a break.
X Confirm the message by pressing the a
button on the steering wheel.
On long journeys, take regular breaks in good
time that allow for adequate recuperation. If you do not take a break and ATTENTION ASSIST still detects increasing lapses in concentration, you
will be warned again after 15 minutes at the
earliest. This will only happen if ATTEN-
TION ASSIST still detects typical indicators of
fatigue or increasing lapses in concentration.
If a warning is output in the multifunction dis-
play, a service station search is performed in
COMAND Online. You can select a service sta-
tion and navigation to this service station will
then begin. This function can be activated and
deactivated in COMAND Online. Traffic Sign Assist
General notes Traffic Sign Assist displays the maximum speed
permitted and overtaking restrictions to the
driver in the instrument cluster. Driving onto a
section of road in the wrong direction triggers a
warning. Traffic Sign Assist detects traffic signs with multifunction camera :attached at the
top of the windscreen. The data and general
traffic regulations stored in the navigation sys-
tem are also used to determine the current
speed limit.
If a traffic sign that is relevant to your vehicle is passed, the display of the speed limits and over-
taking restrictions is updated.
The display can also be updated without a visible traffic sign if:
R the vehicle changes roads (e.g. motorway exit
or slip road)
R a village or town boundary is passed which is
stored in the digital map
R the last traffic sign detected by the camera
has not been repeated
If a sign indicating the end of a restriction (speed limit or overtaking restriction) is passed, the
sign is displayed for five seconds. The currently 166

Warning display
:
Warning display
Blind Spot Assist is not active at speeds below
approximately 30 km/h. Vehicles in the moni-
toring range are then not indicated.
If Blind Spot Assist is activated, indicator
lamp :in the exterior mirrors lights up yellow
up to a speed of 30 km/h. At speeds above
30 km/h, the indicator lamp goes out and Blind
Spot Assist is operational.
If a vehicle is detected within the monitoring
range of Blind Spot Assist at speeds above
30 km/h, warning lamp :on the correspond-
ing side lights up red. This warning always
occurs when a vehicle enters the blind spot
monitoring range from behind or from the side.
When you overtake a vehicle, the warning only
occurs if the difference in speed is less than
12 km/h.
The yellow indicator lamp goes out if reverse
gear is engaged. Blind Spot Assist is then deac- tivated.
The brightness of the indicator/warning lamps
is adjusted automatically according to the ambi-
ent light.
Collision warning
If a vehicle is detected in the monitoring range of
Blind Spot Assist and you switch on the corre-
sponding turn signal, a double warning tone
sounds. Red warning lamp :flashes. If the turn
signal remains on, detected vehicles are indica-
ted by the flashing of red warning lamp :.
There are no further warning tones. Activating Blind Spot Assist
X Make sure that Blind Spot Assist is activated
in the on-board computer (Y page 183).
X Turn the key to position 2in the ignition lock.
Warning lamps :in the exterior mirrors light
up red for approximately 1.5 seconds and
then turn yellow.
Lane Keeping Assist General notes
Lane Keeping Assist monitors the area in front of
your vehicle by means of multifunction cam-
era :attached at the top of the windscreen.
Lane Keeping Assist detects lane markings on
the road and can warn you before you leave your lane unintentionally.
This function is available in a speed range
between 60 km/h and 200 km/h.
A warning may be given if a front wheel passes
over a lane marking. It will warn you by means of intermittent vibration through the steering
wheel for up to 1.5 seconds.
Important safety notes G
WARNING
Lane Keeping Assist cannot always clearly
identify lane markings.
In these cases, Lane Keeping Assist may:
R give an unnecessary warning
R not give a warning
There is a risk of an accident.
Always pay particular attention to the traffic
situation and keep in lane, especially if Lane
Keeping Assist alerts you. 170

WARNING
There is a risk of an accident if you accelerate or overtake when the power output of the
drive system is reduced.
You should therefore adapt your driving style
and drive particularly carefully. Charge the
high-voltage battery at a charge station imme- diately. X
Start the drive system (Y page 128).
E-CELL display :shows the available power
of the drive system.
Under normal operating conditions, E-CELL dis-
play :is in the maximum range.
The power output available may deviate from
the maximum range in the event of:
R very high or low outside temperatures
R very high performance requirements for a lon-
ger period of time
R very low charge status of the high-voltage
battery
R a malfunction in the drive system
The reduced power output can be improved by
charging the high-voltage battery (Y page 134). Power display
Power display
:contains two areas:
R Area above 0
Here, the current amount of power that the
drive system is feeding to the wheels is dis-
played.
R Area below 0
Here, the vehicle's recuperative power in
overrun mode is displayed.
If the needle for the power display is in the OFF
position, the vehicle is not ready to drive
because:
R the drive system has not yet started
R the charging cable is still connected to the
vehicle socket
R there is insufficient power available from the
high-voltage battery
R the vehicle's high-voltage electrical system is
malfunctioning
When the drive system is started, the needle in
the power display moves to position 0. The dis-
play Ready
Ready appears in the lower multifunction
display. The vehicle is ready to drive.
The boost area for maximum acceleration can
be reached using kickdown (Y page 131).
The braking performance of the electric motor
using recuperative braking is, in some operating
modes, either reduced or not effective:
R when the charge status of the high-voltage
battery increases
R if the high-voltage battery is not yet at a nor-
mal operating temperature
R when driving close to the maximum speed
R when the vehicle is almost stationary
R in transmission position N
R during and after ESP stability control Displays and operation

played n the COMAND/Audio display.
The charge level of the high-voltage battery has dropped into the reserve range if the drive sys-
tem is running and:
R the Drive battery Reserve level Drive battery Reserve level mes-
sage appears in the display
R the indicator lamp in the instrument cluster
lights up
Charge the high-voltage battery from a state of
charge of less than 20% at a:
R mains socket
R charging station
The braking performance of the electric motor
using recuperative braking is, in some operating
modes, either reduced or not effective:
R when the charge status of the high-voltage
battery increases
R if the high-voltage battery is not yet at a nor-
mal operating temperature
R when the vehicle is almost stationary
R in transmission position N
R during and after ESP stability control
If you do not make an additional effort to apply
the brake yourself, the braking effect may not be sufficient. If necessary, counteract the reduced regenerative braking effect by applying the
brake yourself. Operating the on-board computer
