Using Driver Alert
Switching the system on and off
You can switch the system on or off through
the information display. See General
Information (page 109). When active, the
system monitors your alertness level based
upon your driving behavior in relation to the
lane markings and other factors.
System Warnings
Note: The system does not issue warnings
below approximately 40 mph (64 km/h).
The warning system has two stages. First,
the system issues a temporary warning
stating that you need to take a rest. This
message only appears for a short time. If the
system detects your driving alertness
reduces further, it may issue another warning
which remains 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 runs automatically
in the background and only issues a warning
when required. See General Information
(page 109).
Note: If you receive a warning you should
consider resting, even if the current
assessment is within the typical range.
Note: If the camera sensor cannot track the
road lane markings or if your vehicle speed
drops below approximately 40 mph
(64 km/h), the alertness level changes to
grey for a short time and the information
display informs you that the system is
unavailable.
Resetting the System
You can reset the system by either:
• Switching the ignition off and on.
• Stopping the vehicle and then opening
and closing the driver’s door.
