Driver alert system (break recom-
mendation)
Fig. 28 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. 28. 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 60 km/h (40 mph).
Activating and deactivating
The driver alert system can be activated or
deactivated in the infotainment system using
the function button > Driver assistants >
Driver alerts. The driver alert system is always
switched on when the drive system is connec-
ted ››› page 36.
