Using Driver Alert
Switching the System On and Off
Switch the system on using the information display.   See   Information Displays.

System Warnings
Note:   The system does not warn you if the vehicle speed falls below approximately 65 km/h (40 mph).
The warning system has two stages:
  1. A temporary warning is issued to advise you to take a rest. This message only appears for a short time.
  2. 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. 
Press OK on the steering wheel control to remove the warning.
System Display
When active the system runs automatically in the background and only issue warnings if required. You can view the status at any time using the information display.   See   General Information. 
The alertness level is shown by six steps as a colored bar.
Driver Alert Screen
Alertness level is fine, no rest required.
Driver Alert Screen
Alertness level is critical, indicating that you should take a rest as soon as it is safe to do so.
The status bar travels from left to right as the calculated alertness level decreases. As the rest icon is approached, the color turns from green to yellow and then finally red when a rest break must be taken.
  • Green: No rest required.
  • Yellow: First (temporary) warning.
  • Red: Second warning.
Your alertness level will be shown in gray if:
  • The sensor cannot track the road lane markings.
  • The vehicle speed falls below approximately 65 km/h (40 mph).

You can reset the system by:
  • Switching the ignition off and on.
