Driver Alert
Introduction
Fig. 15 On the instrument cluster displa
y:
Driver Alert symbol.
The Driver Alert system informs the
driver if their driving shows signs of
tiredness.
T
he Driver Alert system determines the
driver’s driving behaviour while driving and
uses this information to evaluate the tired-
ness of the driver. If the system detects
that the driver is tired, it provides a visual
indication of this on the instrument cluster
display by means of a warning or indicator
lamp in c
ombination with a supplementary
text message and also issues an acoustic
warning → page 36. The text message on
the instrument cluster display is shown for
around 4 to 6 seconds.
Function conditions
The driving behaviour is evaluated for the
first time only at a speed of more than
around 65 km/h (around 40 mph) and
then only at speeds above around 60 km/h
(around 37 mph).
WARNING
Driver Alert is not a substitute for the full
a
ttention of the driver and operates only
within the limits of the system. The Driver
Alert function therefore may not detect
that the driver is tired in all situations and
may not warn or may warn with a delay or
in an undesired way. There is a risk of ac-
cidents and serious or even fatal injuries.
·
Always pay due attention and do not
rely exclusively on the system. The driv-
er is responsible at all times for their fit-
ness to drive.
·
Observe the system limits → page 35.
·
Never drive a vehicle when you are
tired.
·
During long trips, take regular and su-
cient breaks.
·
Follow the information in the instru-
ment cluster display, and respond ac-
cording to the prompts → page 36.
