cause the driving wheels to spin, which could
result in skidding.
Tiredness detection (break
recommendation)*
Introduction
The Tiredness detection informs the driver
when their driving behaviour shows signs of
fatigue.
WARNING
Do not let the comfort afforded by the Tired-
ness detection system tempt you into taking
any risks when driving. Take regular breaks,
sufficient in length when making long jour-
neys.
● The driver always assumes the responsibil-
ity of driving to their full capacity.
● Never drive if you are tired.
● The system does not detect the tiredness of
the driver in all circumstances. Consult the in-
formation in the section
›››
page 172, System
limitations .
● In some situations, the system may incor-
rectly interpret an intended driving manoeu-
vre as driver tiredness.
● No warning is given in the event of the ef-
fect called microsleep!
● Please observe the indications on the in-
strument panel and act as is necessary.
Note
●
Tiredness detection has been developed for
driving on motorways and well paved roads
only.
●
If there is a fault in the system, have it
checked by a specialised workshop.
Function and operation
Fig. 167
On the instrument panel display:
tiredness detection symbol.
Tiredness detection determines the driving
behaviour of the driver when starting a jour-
ney, making a calculation of tiredness. This is
constantly compared with the current driving
behaviour. If the system detects that the driv-
er is tired, an audible warning is given with a
sound and an optic warning is shown with a
symbol and complementary message on the
instrument panel display
›››
Fig. 167 . The
message on the instrument panel display is
shown for approximately 5 seconds, and de-
pending on the case, is repeated. The system
stores the last message displayed.
The message on the instrument panel display
can be switched off by pressing the
