WARNING!
The DDD system is an aid for driving and does not
relieve the driver of the responsibility of driving the
vehicle. If you experience fatigue while driving, pull
over safely for a break without waiting for the DDD
warnings. Only return to the road when you are in
the right physical and mental condition to prevent
endangering yourself and other drivers.
System Warnings
The Drowsy Driver system intervenes if the camera in
the center of the windshield detects signs of driver
fatigue, such as variations in the vehicles trajectory and
approaching too closely to the side of the road.
A red
warning light will appear on the instrument
cluster display along with a dedicated message,
suggesting the driver to take a break. An acoustic
warning will also be admitted.
If the driver accepts the system's recommendation and
stops for a pause, by pressing the OK button on the left
side of the steering wheel, the message will disappear
from the display, and the symbol will be shown in the
designated area of instrument panel until the next time
the engine is started or stopped.
If the driver ignores the system's warning and continues
driving without stopping, the message will remain on
the instrument cluster display until the OK button
on the left side of the steering wheel is pressed.
The warning light will also remain displayed in the
designated area of the instrument cluster display.
NOTE:
In the event of a Drowsy Driver system failure, an amber
symbol will appear in the instrument cluster display.
Drowsy Driver Detection Warning Message

ARNING
Your vehicle is equipped with an Audible Pedestrian
Warning system. The Audible Pedestrian Warning
system uses distinct sounds to alert pedestrians that
your vehicle is approaching. In addition, the module
will indicate changes in vehicle speed by varying the
relative volume.
The system uses an in-vehicle sound synthesizer
with an external speaker located in the under-hood
compartment. The Audible Pedestrian Warning system
is active when the vehicle is not in PARK and remains
active as long as the vehicle is travelling at a speed of
15 mph (25 km/h) or less.
The Audible Pedestrian Warning system is not
intended to avoid a collision. It is always the driver's
responsibility to be attentive to the vehicle's distance
between other vehicles, people, and objects, and
most importantly brake operation to ensure safe
operation of the vehicle under all road conditions.
Your complete attention is always required while
driving to maintain safe control of your vehicle.
Failure to follow this warning could result in a
collision or serious personal injury.

EGENERATIVE
The RBS replenishes the vehicle's high voltage battery
during deceleration, and is particularly useful in stop-
and-go city traffic. The electric motors that propel
the vehicle forward can operate as generators when
braking. The RBS recharges the high voltage battery
under certain braking conditions by recapturing energy
that would otherwise be lost while braking. The electric
S
YSTEM
power that is generated goes back into the high voltage
battery for later use, for example, when acceleration is
desired.
The RBS uses conventional hydraulic friction brakes,
regenerative braking, or a combination, to slow the
vehicle. If the system detects slippery conditions while
braking, then ONLY friction is used to slow the vehicle.
The RBS can result in extended life of the hydraulic
service brakes; however, all inspection, scheduled
maintenance, and service intervals for the vehicle
brakes must be followed.
