System Warnings

Note: The system will not issue warnings
below approximately 40 mph (65 km/h).

The warning system has two stages:
1.

A temporary warning is issued to advise
you to take a rest. This message only
appears for a short time.

2. If you do not rest and the system

continues to detect that your driving
deteriorates, it will issue a further
warning. This will remain in the
information display until you cancel it.
See Information Messages (page
84).

Press OK on the steering wheel control to
remove the warning.

System Display

When active the system will run
automatically in the background and only
issue warnings if required. You can view
the status at any time using the
information display. See General
Information (page 79).

The alertness level is shown by six steps
as a colored bar.

Alertness level is fine, no rest required.

E131359

Alertness level is critical, indicating that
you should take a rest as soon as it is safe
to do so.

as the calculated alertness level
decreases. As the rest icon is approached
the color turns from green to yellow and
then finally red when a rest break must be
taken.
