Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Function
Information messages
The fatigue detection system (hereinafter referred to only as system) recom-
mends the driver taking a break from driving when, because of the driver's
steering behavior, driver fatigue can be detected.
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 system 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, adverse weather condi-
tions or poor road conditions).
The system is designed primarily for use on motorways.

From the start of the journey, the system evaluates steering behavior. If, while
driving, there have been changes in the steering behaviours that are evaluated
by the system as indicating possible fatigue, a break recommendation is is-
sued.
The system evaluates steering behavior and recommends a break at speeds of
65-200 km / h.
The system detects a break from driving when 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 are met or if the driving style is not changed, the
164
system recommends a driving break again after 15 minutes.

The system can be activated/deactivated in the Infotainment
structions for Infotainment, chapter Vehicle settings (CAR button).
