If driving behaviour becomes
seriously erratic, the driver is
alerted by means of an acous-
tic signal combined with a sym-
bol in the driver display and the
message
Time for a break
soon?
.
The warning is repeated after a time if driving
ability does not improve.
NOTE
The function must not be used to extend a
period of driving. Always plan breaks at regu-
lar intervals, and make sure you are well
rested.
WARNING
An alarm should be taken very seriously, as a
sleepy driver is often not aware of his/her
own condition.
In the event of an alarm or a feeling of tired-
ness; stop the car in a safe manner as soon
as possible and rest.
Studies have shown that it is equally as dan-
gerous to drive while tired as it is under the
influence of alcohol.
WARNING
Driver Alert Control does not work in all situa-
tions but is designed merely as a supplemen-
tary aid.
The driver always bears ultimate responsibility
for ensuring that the vehicle is driven safely.
