before driving through a pool of water on the
road.
Note
●
The batter
y temperature may reflect
changes in outside temperature after several
hours. If the vehicle has been stopped out-
side at temperatures below zero or in direct
sunlight, for example, the battery tempera-
ture may take several hours to reach the val-
ues required for the correct operating of the
Start-Stop system.
●
If the Climatronic system is operating auto-
matically, this could impair automatic engine
shut down under certain conditions.
Fatigue detection (break rec-
ommend
ation)*
Intr
oduction
The Fatigue detection informs the driver
when their driv
in
g beh
aviour shows signs of
fatigue.
WARNING
Do not let the comfort afforded by the Fatigue
detection sys
tem tempt you into taking any
risks when driving. Take regular breaks, suffi-
cient in length when making long journeys.
●
The driver always assumes the responsibil-
ity of driving to their full capacity.
●
Never drive if you are tired.
●
The system does not detect the tiredness of
the driver in all circumstances. Consult the in-
formation in the section ››› page 186, System
limitations.
●
In some situations, the system may incor-
rectly interpret an intended driving manoeu-
vre as driver tiredness.
●
No warning is given in the event of the ef-
fect called microsleep!
●
Please observe the indications on the in-
strument panel and act as is necessary.
Note
●
Fatigue detection h
as been developed for
driving on motorways and well paved roads
only.
●
If there is a fault in the system, have it
checked by a specialised workshop.
Function and operation
Fig. 193 On the instrument panel display: fa-
tigue det
ection symbo
l
.
Fatigue detection determines the driving be-
h
av
iour of
the driver when starting a journey,
making a calculation of tiredness. This is
constantly compared with the current driving
behaviour. If the system detects that the driv-
er is tired, an audible warning is given with a
sound and an optic warning is shown with a
symbol and complementary message on the
instrument panel display ››› Fig. 193. The
message on the instrument panel display is
shown for approximately 5 seconds, and de-
pending on the case, is repeated. The system
stores the last message displayed.
The message on the instrument panel display
can be switched off by pressing the
button on the windscreen wiper lever or the
b
utt
on
on the multi function steering
wheel
