WHAT IS DRIVER ALERT

The system is designed to alert you if it
calculates that you are becoming drowsy
or if your driving deteriorates.
HOW DOES DRIVER ALERT
WORK
The system calculates your alertness level
based upon your driving behavior in relation
to the lane markings and other factors
when the vehicle speed is greater than
approximately 40 mph (65 km/h).
The warning system has two stages:
1. A temporary warning is issued to advise
you to take a rest. This message only
appears for a short time.
2. If you do not rest and the system
continues to detect that your driving
deteriorates, it issues a further warning.
This remains in the instrument cluster
display until you cancel it.

DRIVER ALERT PRECAUTIONS

WARNING: You are responsible for
controlling your vehicle at all times. The
system is designed to be an aid and does
not relieve you of your responsibility to
drive with due care and attention. Failure
to follow this instruction could result in
the loss of control of your vehicle,
personal injury or death.
WARNING: The system may not
operate properly if the sensor is blocked.
Keep the windshield free from
obstruction.
WARNING: Take regular rest
breaks if you feel tired. Do not wait for
the system to warn you.
