Depending on version, the "Driver Attention
Warning" may be combined with the "Driver
Attention Alert".
Fatigue detection system
Take a break as soon as you feel tired or at
The system triggers an alert once it
detects that the driver has not taken
a break after two hours of driving at
a speed above 40 mph (65 km/h).
least every two hours.
Depending on version, the function relies either
on the "Driver Attention Warning" system alone
or combined with the "Driver Attention Alert"
system.
This alert is issued via the display of
a message encouraging you to take a break,
accompanied by an audible signal.
If the driver does not follow this advice, the
alert is repeated hourly until the vehicle is
stopped.
These systems cannot in any circumstances
replace the need for vigilance on the part
of the driver who must remain in control
of their decisions. In no case can these
systems keep the driver awake or prevent
them from falling asleep at the wheel.
It is the driver's responsibility to stop if they
feel tired.
The system resets itself if one of the following
conditions is met:
-
-
-
engine running, the vehicle has been
stationary for more than 15 minutes,
the ignition has been switched off for a few
minutes,
the driver's seat belt is unfastened and their
door is open.
Using a camera placed at the top
of the windscreen, the system
assesses the driver's level of
vigilance by identifying variations
in trajectory compared to the lane
markings.
Activation/Deactivation
As soon as the speed of the vehicle drops
below 40 mph (65 km/h), the system goes
into standby.
The driving time is counted again once the
speed is above 40 mph (65 km/h).
The function is activated or
deactivated via the vehicle
configuration menu.
This system is particularly suited to fast roads
(speed faster than 40 mph (65 km/h)).
When the system interprets the behaviour of
the vehicle as indicating a certain fatigue or
inattention threshold on the part of the driver, it
triggers the first level of alert.
The driver is then alerted by the message
"Take care!", accompanied by an audible
signal.
The state of the system stays in the memory
when the ignition is switched off.
