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 to allow yourself to rest properly. If you

do not take a break and ATTENTION ASSIST

still detects increasing lapses in concentra-

tion, you will be warned again after

15 minutes at the earliest. This will only hap-

pen if ATTENTION 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. You can select a service station

and navigation to this service station will then

begin. This function can be activated and

deactivated in COMAND.

Lane Tracking package

General notes

page 194) and Lane Keeping

Assist (

page 196).

Blind Spot Assist

General notes
Blind Spot Assist monitors the areas on either

side of the vehicle that are not visible to the

driver with two lateral, rear-facing radar sen-

sors. A warning display in the exterior mirrors

draws your attention to vehicles detected in

the monitored area. If you then switch on the

corresponding turn signal to change lanes,

you will also receive a visual and audible col-

lision warning.
Blind Spot Assist supports you from a speed

of approximately 20 mph (30 km/h).

Important safety notes

G

WARNING

Blind Spot Assist does not react to:

R

vehicles overtaken too closely on the side,

placing them in the blind spot area

R

vehicles which approach with a large speed

differential and overtake your vehicle

As a result, Blind Spot Assist may not give

warnings in such situations. There is a risk of

an accident.
Always observe the traffic conditions care-

fully, and maintain a safe lateral distance.

Blind Spot Assist is only an aid. It may fail to

detect some vehicles and is no substitute for

attentive driving. Always ensure that there is

sufficient distance to the side for other road

users and obstacles.
