System Display
When active the system will run automatically in the background and
only issue warning if required. You can view the status at any time using
the information display. Refer to the Information Displays chapter.
The alertness level is shown by six steps in a colored bar.
The current assessment of your
alertness is within a typical range.
The current assessment of your
alertness indicates that you should
rest as soon as safely possible.
The status bar will travel from left to right as the calculated alertness
level decreases. As the rest icon is approached the color turns from
green to yellow to red. The yellow position represents the first warning
is active and the red position represents the second warning is active.
Note: If you have recently received a warning; you should consider
resting, even if the current assessment is with the typical range.
Note: The alertness level will be shown in grey if the camera sensor
cannot track the road lane markings or if the vehicle speed drops below
approximately 40 mph (64 km/h).
Resetting the System
You can reset the system by either:
• Switching the ignition off and on.
