Function
Driver Alert is activated when speed
exceeds 65 km/h and remains active
as long as the speed is over
60 km/h.
The display shows a level mark with 1-5 bars,
where a low number of bars indicates incon-
sistent driving style. Many bars indicates stable
driving.
If the vehicle is driven inconsistently then the
driver is alerted by an acoustic signal as well as
the text message
Driver Alert Time for a
break
. The warning is repeated after a time if
driving ability does not improve.
WARNING
An alarm should be taken very seriously, as
a sleepy driver is often not aware of his/her
own condition.
In the event of an alarm or a feeling of tired-
ness; stop the car in a safe manner as soon
as possible and rest.
Studies have shown that it is equally as dan-
gerous to drive while tired as it is under the
influence of alcohol.
