DRIVER ALERT (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING
The driver alert system is designed
to aid you. It is not intended to
replace your attention and judgment. You
are still responsible to drive with due care
and attention.
Note: The system will store the on or off
setting in the information display menu
through ignition cycles.
Note: If enabled in the menu, the system
will be active at speeds above 40 mph (64
km/h). When below the activation speed,
the information display will inform you that
the system is unavailable.
Note: The system works as long as one
lane marking can be detected by the
camera.
Note: If the camera is blocked or if the
windshield is damaged, the system may
not function.
Note: The system may not be available in
poor weather or other low visibility
conditions.
The system automatically monitors your
driving behavior using various inputs
including the front camera sensor.
If the system detects that your driving
alertness is reduced below a certain
threshold, the system will alert you using
a chime and a message in the information
display.

You may switch the system on or off
through the information display by

If the system detects further reduction in
driving alertness, another warning may be
issued which will remain in the information
display for a longer time. Press OK on the
steering wheel control to clear the warning
System Display
When active the system will run
automatically in the background and only
issue a warning if required. You can view
the status at any time using the information
display. See General Information (page

The alertness level is shown by six steps
in a colored bar.
