FATIGUE DETECTION WARNING (1/2)
The fatigue detection warning is a func-
tion which is useful on monotonous
roads (motorways, high-speed roads
etc.).

account of events to inform you of any
risk of fatigue, such as:
– steering wheel movement;
– driver actions on other devices (indi-cators, windscreen washer, etc.);
– time spent driving without stopping;
– ...
This function is an addi-
tional driving aid in case of
risk of fatigue. The function

function replace the driver’s care or
responsibility whilst driving.

in position D, keeping the accelerator
pedal lightly depressed to ensure auto-
matic gear changes at a lower engine
speed.
