Fatigue detection (break recommendation)

The fatigue detection system advises the driver on the basis of information about
the steering behaviour, to take a break from driving. The system recommends a
break at speeds of 65-200 km/h.
After the ignition has been switched on, the system evaluates the steering be-
haviour for 15 minutes. This baseline analysis is constantly compared with the
current steering behaviour. If the system detects deviations from normal steering
behaviour due to possible fatigue of the driver, it recommends to take a break
from driving.
The symbol  appears in the instrument cluster display, with the following mes-
sage:
Driver alert. Take a break.
or
DRIVER ALERT TAKE A BREAK

An audible signal is also emitted.
The system deletes the stored baseline analysis if one of the following condi-
tions is met:
›
the vehicle is stopped and the ignition is turned off,
›
the vehicle is stopped, the seat belt is taken off and the driver's door is opened;
›
the vehicle is stopped for more than 15 minutes.
If none of these conditions is met, the system will recommend another break
from driving.
The system can be activated/deactivated in the Infotainment
tions for Infotainment, chapter Setting vehicle systems (CAR button).
WARNING
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 warning during the so-called micro-sleep.
■
Note

In some situations, the system may evaluate the driving incorrectly and thus
■
mistakenly recommend a break (e.g. sporty driving, in adverse weather conditions,
or in bad road conditions).
The fatigue detection system is designed primarily for motorway driving.
