Driving Aids

Using Driver Alert Switching the system on and off You may switch the system on or off through the information display. See General Information (page 109). When activated, the system will monitor your alertness level based upon your driving behavior in relation to the lane markings, and other factors. System Warnings Note: The system will not issue warnings below approximately 40 mph (64 km/h). The warning system is in 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, another warning may be issued which will remain in the information display for a longer time. Press OK on the steering wheel control to clear the warning.

System Display When active the systemwill 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 General Information (page 109). The alertness level is shown by six steps in a colored bar.

The current assessment of your alertness indicates that you should rest as soon as safely possible. The status bar will travel from left to right as the calculated alertness level decreases. As the rest icon is approached the color turns from green to yellow to red. The yellow position indicates the first warning is active and the red position indicates the second warning is active. Note: If you have recently received a warning, you should consider resting, even if the current assessment is within the typical range. Note: If the camera sensor cannot track the road lane markings or if your vehicle speed drops below approximately 40 mph (64 km/h), the alertness level will change to grey for a short time and the information display will inform you that the system is unavailable.
