DRIVER ALERT

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
WARNING
The driver alert system is designed
to aid you. It is not intended to
replace your attention and judgment.
You are still responsible to drive with due
care and attention.
Note: The system will store the on or off
setting in the information display menu
through ignition cycles.
Note: If enabled in the menu, the system
will be active at speeds above 40 mph
(64 km/h). When below the activation
speed, the information display will inform
the driver that the system is unavailable.
Note: The system works as long as one lane
marking can be detected by the camera.
Note: If the camera is blocked or if the
windshield is damaged, the system may not
function.
Note: The system may not be available in
poor weather or other low visibility
conditions.
The system automatically monitors your
driving behavior using various inputs
including the front camera sensor.
If the system detects that your driving
alertness is reduced below a certain
threshold, the system will alert you using
a chime and a message in the cluster
display.

your alertness level based upon your
driving behavior in relation to the lane
markings, and other factors.
System Warnings
Note: Note: The system will not issue
warnings below approximately 40 mph (64

The warning system has two stages. At
first, the system issues a temporary
warning that you need to take a rest. This
message will only appear for a short time.
If the system detects further reduction in
driving alertness, it may issue another
warning that will remain in the information
display for a longer time. You can press OK
on the steering wheel control to clear the
warning.
System Display
When active the system will run
automatically in the background and only
issue a warning if required. You can view
the status at any time using the
information display. See (page 94).
The alertness level is shown by six steps
in a colored bar.
