ATTENTION ASSIST

General notes

ATTENTION ASSIST helps you during long,

monotonous journeys, such as on highways.

It is active in the 37 mph (60 km/h) to

125 mph (200 km/h) range. If

ATTENTION ASSIST detects typical indicators

of fatigue or increasing lapses in

concentration on the part of the driver, it

suggests taking a break.

Important safety notes

ATTENTION ASSIST is only an aid to the

driver. It might not always recognize fatigue

or increasing inattentiveness in time or fail to

recognize 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

approximately 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

acceleration

R

if you are predominantly driving at a speed

below 37 mph (60 km/h) or above

124 mph (200 km/h)

R

if you are driving with the DISTRONIC PLUS

active steer assist activated

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 when you

continue your journey and starts assessing

your tiredness again if:

R

you switch off the engine.

R

you take off your seat belt and open the

driver's door, e.g. for a change of drivers or

to take a break.
