What does the coffee icon on the Mercedes-Benz dashboard mean?
1 Answers
The coffee icon on the Mercedes-Benz dashboard is a fatigue driving reminder. It appears when the driver does not move the steering wheel for a prolonged period or drives for an extended duration. Methods to prevent fatigue driving: 1. Ensure adequate sleep: Sufficient sleep is the best way to reduce and eliminate fatigue in the body. Therefore, getting enough sleep is crucial, especially before long-distance trips. Drivers must try to ensure they have adequate sleep, which requires maintaining good lifestyle habits, ensuring sleep duration, and improving sleep quality. 2. Develop healthy eating habits: Avoid irregular meals while traveling and refrain from drinking alcohol before or during driving. After meals, blood flow concentrates in the stomach, reducing blood flow to the brain, which lowers brain activity and can cause dizziness and lack of focus. Therefore, it is advisable to rest briefly before driving. 3. Avoid prolonged driving: Plan driving time reasonably. Traffic regulations clearly state that if driving medium or large passenger vehicles or vehicles carrying hazardous materials continuously for more than 4 hours, a break of at least 20 minutes is mandatory. For long-distance driving, it is best to have at least two drivers to alternate driving.
