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 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 or the driving style is not changed, the system
recommends a driving break again after 15 minutes.
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.
