ATTENTION ASSIST
Important safety notes
ATTENTION ASSIST is only an aid to the
driver. It might not always recognizefatigue
or increasing inattentiveness in time or fail to
recognizethem at all. The system is not a
substitute forawell-rested and attentive
driver.
General notes
ATTENTION ASSIST helps you during long,
monotonous journeys, such as on highways.
It is active in the range between 50 mph
(80 km/h) and 112 mph (180 km/h).
If ATTENTION ASSIST detects typical
indicators of fatigue or increasing lapses in
concentration on the part of the driver, it
suggests you takeabreak.
ATTENTION ASSIST assesses your level of
fatigue or lapses in concentration by taking
the following criteria into account:
Ryour personal driving style, e.g. steering
characteristics
Rjourney details, e.g. time of day and length
of journey
The functionality of ATTENTION ASSIST is
restricted and warnings may be delayed or
not occur at all:
Rif the road condition is poor, e.g. if the
surface is uneven or if there are potholes
Rif there isastrongside wind
Rif you have adoptedasporty driving style
with high cornering speeds or high rates of
acceleration
Rif you are predominantly driving slower
than 50 mph (80 km/h) or faster than
112 mph (180 km/h)
Rif you are currently using COMAND or
makingatelephone call with it
Rif the time has been set incorrectly
Rin active driving situations, such as when
you change lanes or change your speed

Lane-correcting brake application
GWARNING

always bring the vehicle back into the original
lane. There isarisk of an accident.
Always steer, brake or accelerate yourself,
especially if Active Lane Keeping Assist warns
you or makesalane-correcting brake
application.
GWARNING
Active Lane Keeping Assist does not detect
traffic conditionsorroad users. In very rare
cases, the system may make an inappropriate
brake application, e.g. after intentionally

risk of an accident.
An inappropriate brake application may be
interrupted at any time if you steer slightly in
the opposite direction. Always make sure that

other traffic or obstacles.
If you leave your lane, under certain
circumstances the vehicle will brake briefly
on one side. This is meant to assist you in

40 mph and 120 mph (60 km/h and
200 km/h).
Alane-correcting brake application can only
be made after driving overasolid,
recognizable lane marking. Before this, a
warning must be given by means of
intermittent vibration in the steering wheel.

sides must be recognized. The brake
application also slightly reduces vehicle
speed.

application can only occur after your
vehicle has returned to the original lane.
