Driving Aids DRIVER ALERT (If Equipped) PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION WARNING The driver alert system is designed to aid you. It is not intended to replace your attention and judgment. You are still responsible to drive with due care and attention. Note: The system will store the on or off setting in the information display menu through ignition cycles. Note: If enabled in the menu, the system will be active at speeds above 40 mph (64 km/h). When below the activation speed, the information display will inform the driver that the system is unavailable. Note: The system works as long as one lane marking can be detected by the camera. Note: If the camera is blocked or if the windshield is damaged, the system may not function. Note: The system may not be available in poor weather or other low visibility conditions. The system automatically monitors your driving behavior using various inputs including the front camera sensor. If the system detects that your driving alertness is reduced below a certain threshold, the system will alert you using a chime and a message in the cluster display. When activated, the system will monitor your alertness level based upon your driving behavior in relation to the lane markings, and other factors. System Warnings Note: Note: The system will not issue warnings below approximately 40 mph (64 km/h). The warning system has two stages. At first, the system issues a temporary warning that you need to take a rest. This message will only appear for a short time. If the system detects further reduction in driving alertness, it may issue another warning that will remain in the information display for a longer time. You can press OK on the steering wheel control to clear the warning. System Display When active the system will run automatically in the background and only issue a warning if required. You can view the status at any time using the information display. See (page 93). The alertness level is shown by six steps in a colored bar.
