When Driving
i-ACTIVSENSE
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the DM
and always drive carefully:
The DM is a system which detects
driver fatigue and sleepiness, and
encourages the driver to take a rest.
This is not designed to prevent driver
fatigue and sleepiness, and
over-reliance on the system could lead
to an accident. Drive carefully and turn
the steering wheel appropriately.
In addition, the system may not be
able to detect driver fatigue and
sleepiness correctly depending on the
traffic and driving conditions. The
driver must take sufficient rest in order
to drive safely.
Operation conditions
The DM begins monitoring after 20
minutes have passed since the driver
began driving the vehicle and when
the vehicle speed is about 5 km/h (3
mph) or faster.
NOTE
If the vehicle speed decreases to less

than about 5 km/h (3 mph) while
the DM is monitoring, the DM stops
monitoring for 6 minutes even if the
vehicle speed returns to about 5
km/h (3 mph) or faster.

DM may not monitor correctly.
