The function is activated when the

vehicle exceeds a speed of 40 mph

(65 km/h). The display will show level

markings of 1–5 bars, where a low

number of bars indicates erratic driving. A high

number of bars indicates stable driving.

If the vehicle is being driven erratically, the

driver will be alerted by an audible signal and

the message Driver Alert, Time for a break is

displayed. The warning will be repeated after a

short time if the driving pattern remains the

same.

WARNING

•

An alert should be taken seriously since

it is sometimes difficult for a driver to

realize that he/she is fatigued.

•

In the event of a warning or if the driver

feels fatigued, stop as soon as possible

in a safe place and rest.
