Commission regulations. Operation is gov‐

FCC ID:
Attentiveness assistant
The concept
The system can detect increasing lack of alert‐
ness or fatigue of the driver during long, mo‐
notonous journeys, e.g., on highways. In this
situation, it is recommended that the driver
takes a break.

NBG009014A.
Compliance statement:
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC
Rules. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions:
▷
This device may not cause harmful inter‐
ference, and
▷
this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.
Note
Personal responsibility
Any unauthorized modifications or changes to
these devices could void the user's authority to
operate this equipment.
The system cannot act as a substitute for
the personal assessment of one's physical
state and may not detect an increasing lack of
alertness or fatigue or may not detect it cor‐
rectly. Therefore, make sure that the driver is
rested and alert; otherwise, risks may be de‐
tected too late and an accident be caused as a
result.◀
Brake force display
The concept
Function
The system is activated each time the engine
is started and cannot be switched off.
After travel has begun, the system is trained
about the driver, so that increasing lack of
alertness or fatigue can be detected.
This procedure takes the following criteria into
account:
▷
▷
During normal brake application, the outer
brake lights light up.
▷
Personal driving style, e.g., steering behav‐
ior.
During heavy brake application, the inner
brake lights light up in addition.
▷
Driving conditions, e.g., length of trip.
Starting at approximately 43 mph/70 km/h, the
system is active and can display a recommen‐
dation to take a break.
Active Protection
Break recommendation
General information
The Active Protection safety package consists
of systems that are independent of each other:
If the driver becomes increasingly less alert or
fatigued, a message is displayed in the Control
Display with the recommendation to take a
break.
▷
Attentiveness assistant.

Safety
Controls
A recommendation to take a break is displayed
only once during an uninterrupted trip.
Note
Personal responsibility
After a break, another recommendation to take
a break cannot be displayed until after approxi‐
mately 45 minutes.
The system cannot possibly serve as a
substitute for the driver's personal judgment of
the traffic situation. The system may not al‐
ways detect critical situations reliably and in a
timely manner. Adapt speed to traffic situation
and drive alertly; otherwise, a risk to safety may
result.◀
System limits
The function may be limited in the following
situations, for instance, and will either output
an incorrect warning or no warning at all:
▷
▷
When the clock is set incorrectly.
Function
When the vehicle speed is mainly below
about 43 mph/70 km/h.
After the safety belt is buckled, the front belts
are automatically pretensioned once after the
vehicle is driven is away.
▷
▷
With a sporty driving style, such as during
rapid acceleration or when cornering fast.
In critical driving situations, the following indi‐
vidual functions become active as needed:
In active driving situations, such as when
changing lanes frequently.
▷
The front belts are automatically preten‐
sioned.
▷
▷
When the road surface is poor.
In the event of strong side winds.
▷
▷
Automatic closing of the windows.
Automatic Positioning of the backrest for
the front passenger seat.
PreCrash
After a critical driving situation without an acci‐
dent, the front belts are loosened again. All
other systems can be restored to the desired
setting.
The concept
With this system critical driving situations that
might result in an accident can be detected
above a speed of approx. 20 mph/30 km/h. In
these situations, preventive measures are au‐
tomatically taken to minimize the risk of an ac‐
cident as much as possible.
If the belt tension does not loosen automati‐
cally, stop the vehicle and unbuckle the belt
using the red button in the buckle. Fasten the
belt before continuing on your trip.
Critical driving situations may include:
Emergency stop.
PostCrash
In the event of an accident, the system can
bring the car to a halt automatically without in‐
tervention by the driver in certain situations.
This can reduce the risk of a further collision
and the consequences thereof.
If the vehicle includes the front-end collision
warning or front-end collision warning with
braking feature, impending collisions with vehi‐
cles driving ahead or stopped in front of you
can also be detected within the system's
range.
Depressing the brake pedal can cause the ve‐
hicle to brake harder. This interrupts automatic
braking. Destepping on the gas pedal also in‐
terrupts automatic braking.
After coming to a halt, the brake is released
automatically. Secure the vehicle against roll‐
ing.
