Dacia Sandero
Introduction
warning
This function is an additional driving aid in case of a risk of distraction. The function does not operate on the vehicle. The function cannot, under any circumstances, replace the driver's responsibility during driving.
The driver must always adapt their driving according to their alertness, regardless of the system's indications.
The system analyses the behaviour of the driver's face using the interior camera 1 and emits a warning if any distraction is detected.
A distraction is when a driver doesn't look at the road for about three seconds or repeats this movement several times in a row.
Note: the system does not record any images and operates in real time.
Location of the camera 1
Make sure that the camera is not obscured (by dirt, fogging, etc.) or covered.
Operation
tip
The system continuously monitors the driver's attention and can issue several warnings during a journey.
The function is ready to warn you when the speed is above approximately 12 mph (20 km/h).
In the case of distraction, the "Remain focused on driving" message is displayed on the instrument panel 2 accompanied by a beep.
Press the 3 "OK" switch to clear the warning light displayed on the instrument panel. After deleting the message, the system continues to monitor distraction and issues a new warning if necessary.

Limitations of system operation
Some conditions can disrupt or damage the system operation, for example:
- when wearing certain types of glasses;
- if the camera is obstructed, even partially;
- if part of the driver's face is hidden (by hair, a cap, surgical mask, scarf, etc.).
- an unsuitable driving position (such as sitting too low, leaning too far back, etc.) that can prevent the camera from properly analysing the face.
In these conditions, the system may either not trigger a warning or it may trigger untimely or false warnings.
Operating faults
If the system detects an operating fault, the "Vigilance monit. to check" message or, depending on the vehicle, the "Attention monitoring unavailable Face not detected" message appears, accompanied by the
warning light, on the instrument panel.
Check that the camera is clean and/or remove any face-covering accessories. Make sure you are seated correctly. If there is still a problem, contact an approved Dealer.
