The driver vigilance warning is a function that analyses the behaviour of the driver (driving style, vehicle steering, etc.) and alerts them if there is a risk of falling asleep.

It takes into account indicators such as:

  • steering wheel movements;
  • driver actions on other systems (indicators, brake pedal, etc.).
warning

This function is an additional driving aid in case of risk of fatigue. 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.

Operation
