Driver alert system (break recom-
mendation)
Fig.23 On the screen of the instrument
panel: fatigue detection.
The driver alert system informs the driver when
it deduces tiredness due to his/her behaviour
at the wheel.
Function and operation
Fatigue detection determines the driving be-
haviour of the driver when starting a journey,
making a calculation of tiredness. This is con-
stantly compared with the current driving be-
haviour. If the system detects that the driver is
tired, an audible warning is given with a sound
and an optical warning is shown with a sym-
bol and supplementary message on the instru-
ment cluster screen ›››Fig.23. The message
on the instrument panel display is shown for
approximately 5 seconds, and depending on
the case, is repeated. The system stores the
last message displayed.
The warning on the instrument cluster display
can be hidden as follows:
●
Press the button on the multifunction
steering wheel.
Conditions of operation
Driving behaviour is only calculated at speeds
above about 60km/h (40mph).
Activating and deactivating
Fatigue detection can be activated or deac-
tivated in the infotainment system using the
function button > Assistants > Driver
alerts.
The driver alert system is always switched
on when the drive system is connected
›››page35.
System limitations
The Fatigue detection has certain limitations
inherent to the system. The following condi-
tions can limit the Fatigue detection or prevent
it from functioning.
●
At speeds below 60km/h (40mph).
●
When cornering
●
In sections with roadworks.
●
On roads in poor condition
●
In unfavourable weather conditions
●
When a sporty driving style is employed
●
In the event of a serious distraction to the
driver
Fatigue detection will be restored when the
vehicle is stopped for more than 15 minutes,
when the ignition is switched o or when
the driver has unbuckled their seat belt and
opened the door.
In the event of slow driving during a long pe-
riod of time (below 60km/h, 40mph) the sys-
tem automatically re-establishes the tiredness
calculation. When driving at a faster speed the
driving behaviour will be recalculated.
