Function
Driver Alert is activated when speed exceeds
65 km/h (40 mph) and remains active as long as
the speed is above 60 km/h (37 mph).
If the vehicle is being driven erratically,
the driver is notified by an acoustic sig-
nal plus the text message (p. 249)
Driver Alert Time for a break - the
linked symbol is illuminated in the combined
instrument panel at the same time. The warning
is repeated after a time if driving ability 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 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.
