System Warnings
The warning system has two stages:
- A temporary warning is issued to advise
you to take a rest. This message only
appears for a short time.
- If you do not rest and the system
continues to detect that your driving
deteriorates, it issues a further warning.
This remains in the instrument cluster
display until you cancel it.
Note: The system does not warn you if the
vehicle speed falls below approximately
40 mph (65 km/h).
How Does Driver Alert Work
Driver Alert calculates your alertness level
based on your driving behavior in relation
to the lane markings and other factors
through use of the front camera sensor
