For this reason it is always important to stop
and take a break in the event of any signs of
driver fatigue, irrespective of whether or not
DAC issues a warning.
Driver Alert Control (DAC)* - operation
Settings are made from the centre console
display screen and its menu system.
WARNING
An alarm should be taken very seriously,
as a sleepy driver is often not aware of
his/her own condition.
On/Off
In the event of an alarm or a feeling of
tiredness; stop the car in a safe manner as
soon as possible and rest.
NOTE
The Driver Alert function can be set in
standby mode via the menu system MY CAR
(p. 119):
The function must not be used to extend a
period of driving. Always plan breaks at
regular intervals, and make sure you are
well rested.
Studies have shown that it is equally as
dangerous to drive while tired as it is under
the influence of alcohol.
