Limitations of Driver Alert Control
The Driver Alert Control (DAC) function may
have limitations in certain situations.
In certain cases the driving behaviour may not be
affected, which results in the driver not receiving
any warning from the DAC. For this reason it is
always important to stop and take a break in the
event of any signs of driver fatigue, irrespective of
whether or not DAC issues a warning.
In some cases the system may issue a warning
despite driving ability not deteriorating, for exam-
ple:
•
in strong side winds
•
on rutted road surfaces.
NOTE
The function uses the car's camera unit,
which has some general limitations, see the
"Limitations for camera unit" section.
