Fatigue detection system
Depending on version, the "Driving time warning   system"   may   be   combined   with   the  
"

Fatigue   detection   system".
Using
  a   camera   placed   at   the   top   of   the  
w

indscreen,   the   system   assesses   the   driver's  
l

evel   of   vigilance   by   identifying   variations   in  
t

rajectory   compared   to   the   lane   markings.
This
  system   is   particularly   suited   to   fast   roads  
(

speed   higher   than   40   mph   (65   km/h)).Once
  the   system   considers   that   the   behaviour  o
f   the   vehicle   suggests   a   certain   level   of   fatigue  
o

r   inattention   by   the   driver,   it   triggers   the   first  
l

evel   of   alert.
The
  driver   is   then   alerted   by   the   message  
"Ta

k e c a r e !",
  accompanied   by   an   audible  
s

ignal.
After
  three   first   level   alerts,   the   system   triggers  
a

  new   alert   with   the   message   "Take a break! ",
accompanied
  by   a   more   pronounced   audible  
s

ignal. In
  certain   driving   conditions   (poor   road  
s

ur face   or   strong   winds),   the   system  
m

ay   give   alerts   independent   of   the  
d

river's   level   of   vigilance.
The   following   situations   may   inter fere  
w

ith   operation   of   the   system   or   prevent  
i

t   working:
-  
p

o
