Driver Alert Control (DAC) – function
Function
Driver Alert is activated when the vehicle exceeds
a speed of 40 mph (65 km/h) and will remain
active as long as the speed is over approx.
37 mph (60 km/h).
If the vehicle is being driven erratically,
the driver will be alerted by an audible
signal and the message
Driver Alert
Time for a break is displayed. The
warning will be repeated after a short time if the
driving pattern remains the same.
Press the OK button to erase a message.
WARNING
•
An alert should be taken seriously since it
is sometimes difficult for a driver to real-
ize that he/she is fatigued.
•
In the event of a warning or if the driver
feels fatigued, stop as soon as possible in
a safe place and rest.
