Driver Alert
 WARNING: The system is designed to aid the driver. It is not intended to replace your attention and judgment. You are still responsible to drive with due care and attention. WARNING: At all times, you are responsible for controlling your vehicle, supervising the system and intervening, if required. Failure to take care may result in the loss of control of your vehicle, serious personal injury or death. WARNING: The system may not operate properly if the sensor is blocked. Keep the windshield free from obstruction. WARNING: Take regular rest breaks if you feel tired. Do not wait for the system to warn you. WARNING: Certain driving styles may result in the system warning you even if you are not feeling tired. WARNING: In cold and severe weather conditions the system may not function. Rain, snow and spray can all limit sensor performance. WARNING: The system will not operate if the sensor cannot track the road lane markings. WARNING: If damage occurs in the immediate area surrounding the sensor, have your vehicle checked as soon as possible. WARNING: The system may not correctly operate if your vehicle is fitted with a suspension kit not approved by us. |
The system is designed to alert you if it detects that you are becoming drowsy or if your driving deteriorates. The system calculates your alertness level based upon your driving behavior in relation to the lane markings and other factors when the vehicle speed is greater than approximately 65 km/h (40 mph).
You can switch the system on or off using the information display. See General Information.
Note: The system remains on or off depending on how it was last set.
System Warnings
The warning system has two stages:
- A temporary warning is issued to advise you to take a rest. This message only appears for a short time.
- If you do not rest and the system continues to detect that your driving deteriorates, it issues a further warning. This remains in the information display until you cancel it. See Information Messages.
Note: The system does not warn you if the vehicle speed falls below approximately 65 km/h (40 mph).
