The Driver Alert System informs the driver if their driving shows signs of tiredness.  
Function and operation  
The Driver Alert System determines the driving behaviour at the beginning of a journey and uses it to evaluate the  
tiredness of the driver. This is compared to the behaviour of the driver while actually driving. If the system detects  
driver fatigue, an acoustic warning signal will sound and a symbol will be displayed on the instrument cluster display  
together with a supplementary text message → Fig. 1. The message in the instrument cluster display is displayed for  
about five seconds and may be repeated once. The last displayed message is saved by the system.  
The message on instrument cluster display can be deactivated as follows:  
Press the  
button on the multifunction steering wheel.  
Function conditions  
The driving behaviour can be evaluated only when the speed is above 60 km/h(around 37 mph) up to approximately  
200 km/h (around 125 mph).  
Switching on and off  
The Driver Alert System is always active when the vehicle’s drive system is activated. You can switch the Driver Alert  
System on and off in the Assist systems menu in the Infotainment system (→ Vehicle settings menu).  
Function limitations  
The Driver Alert System has system-related limitations. The following conditions can limit the function of the Driver  
Alert System, or prevent it from working altogether:
