Tiredness detection (break
recommendation)*
Introduction
The Tiredness detection informs the driver
when their driving behaviour shows signs of
fatigue.
WARNING
Do not let the comfort afforded by the Tired-
ness detection system tempt you into taking
any risks when driving. Take regular breaks,
sufficient in length when making long jour-
neys.
The driver always assumes the responsibil-
●
ity of driving to their full capacity.
Never drive if you are tired.
●
The system does not detect the tiredness of
●
the driver in all circumstances. Consult the in-
formation in the section
limitations.
● In some situations, the system may incor-
rectly interpret an intended driving manoeu-
vre as driver tiredness.
172
No warning is given in the event of the ef-
●
fect called microsleep!
● Please observe the indications on the in-
strument panel and act as is necessary.
Note
● Tiredness detection has been developed for
driving on motorways and well paved roads
only.
● If there is a fault in the system, have it
checked by a specialised workshop.
