Vehicles with Blind Spot Assist: Cross Traffic
Alert can warn drivers of any crossing traffic
when reversing out of a parking space. The radar
sensors in the bumper also monitor the area
adjacent to the vehicle. If a critical situation is
detected, symbol 1 appears in the media dis‐
play. If the driver does not respond to the warn‐
ing, the vehicle's brakes can be applied automat‐
ically.
If the radar sensors are obstructed by vehicles
or other objects, detection is not possible.
Cross Traffic Alert is active under the following

ATTENTION ASSIST
Function of ATTENTION ASSIST with micro‐
sleep detection
ATTENTION ASSIST with microsleep detection
assists you on long, monotonous journeys, e.g.
on motorways and trunk roads. If indicators of
fatigue or increasing lapses in concentration on
the part of the driver are detected, the system
suggests taking a break.
ATTENTION ASSIST with microsleep detection is
only an aid. It cannot always detect fatigue or
lapses in concentration in time. The system is
not a substitute for a well-rested and attentive
driver. On long journeys, take regular breaks in
good time that allow for adequate recuperation.
You can choose between two settings:
R
Standard: normal system sensitivity.
R
Sensitive: increased system sensitivity: the
driver is warned earlier and the attention
level detected by the system is adapted
accordingly.
If drowsiness or increasing lapses in concentra‐
tion are detected, the ATTENTION ASSIST: Take
