DRIVER CONDITION MONITOR [G2944958]

WARNING:

The driver condition monitor feature continuously evaluates driving technique for signs of fatigue. The feature determines fatigue in two levels:

  1. Fatigued.
  2. Highly fatigued.

In the event of the driver becoming fatigued:

The instrument panel displays a white icon. The instrument panel also emits a chime.

The driver condition monitor feature may warn the driver every five minutes if the driver continues to be fatigued.

NOTE:

After 30 seconds the fatigued white icon extinguishes automatically.

In the event of the driver becoming highly fatigued:

The instrument panel displays a yellow icon. The instrument panel also emits a chime.

The driver condition monitor feature may warn the driver every five minutes if the driver continues to be highly fatigued.

NOTE:

The highly fatigued amber icon remains displayed until the driver has acknowledged the warning.
