Driver vigilance warning
Introduction
The driver vigilance warning is a function that analyses the behaviour of the driver
(driving style, vehicle steering, etc.) and alerts them if there is a risk of falling
asleep.
It takes into account indicators such as:
- steering wheel movements;
- driver actions on other systems (indicators, brake pedal, etc.).
WARNING
This function is an additional driving aid in case of risk of fatigue. The function
does not operate on the vehicle. The function cannot, under any circumstances, replace
the driver's responsibility during driving.
The driver must always adapt their driving according to their alertness, regardless
of the system's indications.
Operation
The function is set to warn the driver if:
- a few minutes have elapsed since the vehicle last stopped;
- the vehicle speed is greater than approximately 43 mph (70 km/h).
If there is a risk of fatigue or impaired attention, the "Fatigue warning Have a break" 1 message is displayed on the instrument panel, accompanied by a beep.
Press switch 2OK to clear the warning.
After deleting the message, the system continues vigilance monitoring and issues a
new warning if necessary.
Tip
The driver vigilance warning constantly monitors the driver's attention and can provide
several warnings per journey.
The system resets every time the engine is started.
