Volvo V60 TWIN ENGINE 2019 Owner's Manual page 369

The warning is repeated after a time if driving
behaviour has not improved.
WARNING
Driver Alert Control should not be used to
extend a period of driving. The driver should
instead plan for breaks at regular intervals
and make sure they are well rested.
WARNING
The function is supplementary driver sup-
•
port intended to facilitate driving and
make it safer – it cannot handle all situa-
tions in all traffic, weather and road condi-
tions.
The driver is advised to read all sections
•
in the Owner's Manual that relate to this
function to learn about factors such as its
limitations and what the driver should be
aware of before using the system.
Driver support functions are not a substi-
•
tute for the driver's attention and judge-
ment. The driver is always responsible for
ensuring the car is driven in a safe man-
ner, at the appropriate speed, with an
appropriate distance to other vehicles,
and in accordance with current traffic
rules and regulations.
WARNING
An alarm from Driver Alert Control should be
taken very seriously, as a sleepy driver is often
not aware of his/her own condition.
If the alarm sounds or you feel fatigued:
Stop the car safely as soon as possible
•
and rest.
Studies have shown that it is just as danger-
ous to drive while tired as it is to drive under
the influence of alcohol or other stimulants.
