1-2. Using Advanced Drive
Driver monitor
During controlled driving, the driver
monitor camera detects the position
and direction the driver is facing, and
whether their eyes are opened or
closed. Through this, the system deter-
mines if the driver is checking their sur-
roundings and if the driver can perform
driving operations.
Also, the steering wheel sensor detects
if the steering wheel is being held.
Warning function
■
In situations such as the following, a
buzzer will sound once and a message
will be displayed to warn the driver.
When the system determines that
the driver is not paying attention to
the road or their eyes are closed
When the driver's face cannot be
detected or the system determines
that the driver has poor driving pos-
ture
When the steering wheel is not held
when the system urges the driver to
do so
If corrective action is not taken in a cer-
tain amount of time, a buzzer will
sound intermittently and a message will
be displayed to warn the driver.
If corrective action is not taken and driving
operations, such as holding the steering
wheel, are not performed, the EDSS
(Emergency Driving Stop System) may
operate. (P.45)
Drowsiness detection function
■
If Advanced Drive determines that the
driver is drowsy, this function will dis-
play a message and vibrate the seat
belt to urge the driver to take a break.
The drowsiness detection function can be
enabled/disabled on
of the multi-infor-
mation display. (P.45)
