Driver alert
If the vehicle identifies signs of reduced driver focus, it will notify you with a sound and a message.
The vehicle analyzes your driving behavior and can detect signs of fatigue. It then notifies you in the instrument panel and with a sound.
The vehicle uses the driver behavior detection system and its cameras to track your face and eye movements to determine where you are directing your attention. Another important part of the monitoring system is checking that the driver's hands are kept on the steering wheel when driving.
You can turn off driver alert notifications in assist settings. This does not disable the driver behavior detection system, as it is also used by other features.
Warning
The importance of a well-rested driver
Take any notifications about signs of driver tiredness seriously, as a tired driver is often unaware of their condition. If you feel tired or get an alert about it from the vehicle, stop as soon as possible in a suitable location for a rest. Always plan for regular breaks and start all trips with a well-rested driver.
Driving while tired is comparable to driving under the influence of alcohol.
Conditions and limitations
- Attention tracking requires an unobscured view of the driver's face.
- Improperly stowed items can obscure the view of the driver, as can dust and dirt on the camera lens. Keep the driver's space clean and clutter-free.
- Wearing certain clothing and accessories can obstruct parts of the driver's face that need to be visible for attention tracking, such as the eyes.
Important
Driver responsibility
Alerts about poor focus when driving are a supplement to safe driving practices. The driver is fully responsible for making sure they are able to stay alert and maintain focus when driving.
