a warning signal to take a break from driving. There are three modes:
• Normal Sensitivity: Driver Attention Warning warns the driver of his/her inattentive driving practices.
• High Sensitivity: Driver Attention Warning warns the driver of his/her inattentive driving practices faster than Normal mode.
• Off: Driver Attention Warning is deactivated
If DAW is activated, the DAW information A will appear on the Instrument Cluster LCD when you select the Driving Assist menu
