During control, speed can be increased by pressing the accelerator pedal. Re-

Fatigue detection
The fatigue detection system (hereinafter referred to as system) recommends
the driver takes a break from driving when driver fatigue can be detected due
to the driver's steering behaviour.
From the starting of the journey, the system evaluates the steering behaviour
at speeds 65-200 km/h. If, while driving, there have been changes in the steer-
ing behaviours that are evaluated by the system as indicating possible fatigue,
a break recommendation is issued.
Conditions under which a break from driving is detected by the system
▶
The vehicle is stopped and the ignition switched off.
▶
The vehicle is stopped, the seat belt removed and the driver's door opened.
▶
The vehicle is stopped for more than 15 minutes.
If none of these conditions are met or if the driving style is not changed, the
system recommends a driving break again after 15 minutes.
The system can be activated / deactivated in MAXI DOT display
Pause recommendation
The icon appears and the following message for a few seconds in the display
of the instrument cluster and a message about the detected fatigue. An au-
dible signal is also emitted.
WARNING
The general information relating to the use of assistance systems must
■
be observed
» page 112,
in section General information.
For the driving ability is always the driver's responsibility. Never drive if
■
you feel tired.
The system may not detect all cases where a break is needed.
■
Therefore, take regular, sufficient breaks during long trips.
■
There will be no system warning during the so-called micro-sleep.
