Driver alert
9 Warning
The driver alert system monitors the
driving time and the vigilance of the
driver. Monitoring the vigilance of the
driver is based on the trajectory
variations of the vehicle compared to
the lane markings.
Always keep your attention on the
road and maintain proper vehicle
position within the lane, otherwise
vehicle damage, injury or death
could occur.
The system may not keep the
vehicle in the lane or give an alert,
even if a lane marking is detected.
The steering of the system may
not be sufficient to avoid a lane
departure.
The system may not detect hands-
off driving due to external
influences (road condition and
surface, weather etc). The driver
has full responsibility to control the
vehicle and is always required to
keep the hands on the steering
wheel while driving.
Using the system while towing a
trailer or on slippery roads could
cause loss of control of the vehicle
and a crash. Switch the system off.
The system cannot replace the need
for vigilance on the part of the driver.
Taking a break is recommended as
soon as feeling tired or at least every
two hours. Do not drive when feeling
tired.
Driver drowsiness detection
The system monitors the driver's level
of vigilance at speeds above
65 km/h. A camera at the top of the
windscreen detects variations in
trajectory compared to the lane
markings.
The system may perform a learning
procedure for up to 30 minutes after
the start of the monitoring. During this
period, the driver's individual driving
behaviour is analysed and no alert is
given.
If the trajectory of the vehicle
suggests a certain level of
drowsiness or inattention by the
driver, the system triggers the first
level of alert. The driver is notified by
a message and an audible signal is
given.
Activation or Deactivation
The system can be activated or
deactivated in the Info Display 3 87.

Information Centre.
The system is automatically activated
