Fatigue detection system
Take a break as soon as you feel tired or at
least every two hours.
These systems cannot in any circumstances
replace the need for vigilance on the part of
the driver who must remain in control of their
decisions. It is never the intention of these
systems to keep the driver awake or to prevent
the driver from falling asleep at the wheel.
It is the driver’s responsibility to stop if feeling
tired.
Activation/Deactivation
The function is activated or
deactivated via the vehicle
configuration menu.
The state of the system stays in the memory
when the ignition is switched off.
Driver Attention Warning
The system triggers an alert as soon
as it detects that the driver has not
taken a break after two hours of driving
at a speed above 40
mph (65 km/h).
This alert is issued via the display of a
message encouraging you to take a break,
accompanied by an audible signal.
If the driver does not follow this advice, the
alert is repeated hourly until the vehicle is
stopped.
The system resets itself if one of the following
conditions is met:
-
e
ngine running, the vehicle has been
stationary for more than 15
minutes,
-
t
he ignition has been switched off for a few
minutes,
-
t
he driver's seat belt is unfastened and their
door is opened.
As soon as the speed of the vehicle drops
below 40
mph (65 km/h), the system goes
into standby.
The driving time is counted again once the
speed is above 40
mph (65 km/h).
Driver Attention Alert
Depending on version, the "Driver Attention
Warning" system is combined with the "Driver
Attention Alert" system.Using a camera placed at the top of
the windscreen, the system assesses
the driver's level of vigilance by
identifying variations in trajectory
compared to the lane markings.
This system is particularly suited to fast roads
(speed higher than 40
mph (65 km/h)).
When the system interprets the behaviour of
the vehicle as indicating a certain threshold of
driver fatigue or inattention, it triggers the first
level of alert.
The driver is then alerted by the message
" Ta k e c a r e ! ", accompanied by an audible
signal.
Depending on version, the function consists of
just the "Driver Attention Warning" system or of
this combined with the "Driver Attention Alert"
system.
