When you start the engine after the 12-volt vehicle battery has been totally discharged, replaced or after a jump start, you may  
find that system settings, e.g. personal convenience features, have been changed or deleted. Check and correct the settings as  
necessary once the 12-volt vehicle battery has been sufficiently charged.  
WARNING  
Operating the Infotainment system can distract you from the road. If the driver is distracted, this can cause accidents and serious or  
fatal injuries.  
Drive with your full attention and with responsibility.  
Adjust all settings in the Infotainment system only when the vehicle is stationary.  
On the instrument cluster display: Drowsiness Monitor  
symbol.  
The Drowsiness Monitor informs the driver if their driving shows signs of fatigue.  
The Drowsiness Monitor determines the driver’s driving behaviour while driving and uses this information to evaluate the tiredness of  
the driver. If the system detects that the driver is tired, it provides a visual indication of this on the instrument cluster display by means  
of a warning or indicator lamp in combination with a supplementary text message and also issues an acoustic warning → Warning  
levels of the Drowsiness Monitor. The text message is shown in the instrument cluster display for around 6 seconds.  
Function conditions  
The function is only activated at a speed above around 65 km/h (around 40 mph) and is then deactivated again at a speed below  
60 km/h (around 37 mph).  
WARNING  
The Drowsiness Monitor is not a substitute for the full attention of the driver and operates only within the limits of the system. The  
Drowsiness Monitor therefore may not detect that the driver is tired in all situations and may not warn or may warn with a delay or in  
an undesired way. There is a risk of accidents and serious or even fatal injuries.  
Always pay due attention and do not rely exclusively on the system. The driver is responsible at all times for their fitness to drive.  
Observe the system limits (→ Drowsiness Monitor).  
Never drive a vehicle when you are tired.  
During long trips, take regular and sufficient breaks.  
Follow the information in the instrument cluster display and respond according to the requests (→ Drowsiness Monitor).
