Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
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.
NOTE
The function must not be used to extend a
period of driving. Always plan breaks at
regular intervals, and make sure you are
well rested.
Limitation
In some cases the system may issue a warn-
ing despite driving ability not deteriorating, for
example:
•
in strong side winds
•
on rutted road surfaces.
NOTE
The camera sensor has certain limitations
(p. 221).

Function

If the vehicle is being driven errati-

acoustic signal plus the text mes-
sage
Driver Alert Time for a break
- the linked symbol is illuminated in the com-
bined instrument panel at the same time. The
warning is repeated after a time if driving abil-
ity does not improve.
The warning symbol can go off:
•
Press the left stalk switch
OK
button.
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
tiredness; stop the car in a safe manner as
soon as possible and rest.
Studies have shown that it is equally as
dangerous to drive while tired as it is under
the influence of alcohol.
